Need help for F18 with Canon LBP2900

[Khemara Lyn]

Dear Ed and all,

I managed to make it work by reading the documentation in deep. The 
problem was this:

As said in the readme file of the Doc directory that comes with the CATP 
driver package,
I had to use -P <full-path-to-the-PPD-file>:

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -P 
/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E

while the instructions I found on Google use the -m:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -m CNCUPSLBP2900CAPTK.ppd -v 
ccp://localhost:59787 -E

To summarize the steps as this may benefits someone else later:

- Download and install CAPT driver package from here:
http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i-SENSYS_LBP2900.aspx?type=download&page=1
- Register the printer with this command:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -P 
/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E

where the PPD file got placed in the folder /usr/share/cups/model/ by 
the driver package installed in the above step.
- Start the CCP daemon:
/etc/init.d/ccpd start
- Print a TestPage

I could also use the "Add Printer" link from the CUPS Web page 
http://localhost:631/admin and specifying the correct Device URI 
(ccp://localhost:59787/) and selecting the correct PPD file 
(/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd).

If TestPage does not work, try to restart the printer.

I found that, when I plug in the printer, the CUPS system adds/installs 
automatically; however that one does not work and if I tried to print 
TestPage with it; I won't work and mess it all up: the printer won't 
print any more even with the correct setup I had before. I need to 
restart the printer to make it work again.

That is all my observations.

Now, I need a little more help: how can I disable the automatic 
adding/installing of printer by CUPS?
I tried with "Browsing Off" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf" but did not do it.

Again, thanks for all the help so far, very much appreciated.

Regards,
Khem
