Install a working driver for the Canon LB2900 printer
Authored by: Gianni56 on Thu, May 1 2008 at 4:04AM PDT

I have OS X 10.5 Leopard.

I went through your steps (and prayed through the all-jap CAPT driver install) and everything worked as described. I think in Leopard the Printer Setup Utility doesn't exist anymore, so I used the Print&Fax option in the System Preferences application

The printer was recognized and the system picked up the CAPT driver (although I got stuck in beachball mode and had to restart)

The printer is now apparently listed all right but can't print and the CAPT monitor says there's no connection - tried unplugging & plugging cycles, but no avail.

Ideas?
