Canon LBP2900 on my Mac
Bought Canon LBP2900 (low cost laser printer) and then realized it does not come with mac drivers ... wtf? Did some googling around, found two sources: * http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6676306 * http://kokyun.wordpress.com/2009/11/26/how-to-print-from-canon-lbp-2900-on-mac-os-x-10-5-8/ The first one did not work, the latter worked ... you need to ensure that you install the Japanese driver ... here are the steps: 0. Turn off printer. 1. Remove CAPT folder from /Library/Printers/Canon/ 2. Download and install file from bottom of page: http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/captu-intelmac.html ( http://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDEwMDAwMTExMDAx&cmp=ACM&lang=JA ) size 14,514,138 byte. 3. Install this downloaded mxcapt170.dmg (japanese language). 4. Reboot. 5. Download http://www.elverils.com/downloads/LBP2900.gz from Dexter_HD solution. 6. Upack LBP2900 and plase it to /Library/Printers/Canon/CAPT/Profile/Device/ 7. Turn on printer. 8. Print.
