Title: Canon LBP 2900B Printer Installation
Post by: Narender Rao on July 17, 2016, 12:18:15 AM

I am a newbie to Linux Lite and I want to install my printer Canon LBP2900B in LL 3.0; It is being recognised by the OS but unable to configure it or install it to print. I want to use LL completely on Laptop and desktop to get away from ghostly windows!! Please help me in this regard.

Hi Narender Rao,

Welcome to Linux Lite and the Forum! :)

Have you had a look at the Help Manual (https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/hardware.html#printer) yet? There is also a section specifically for Canon printers.

Hope that helps, otherwise don't hesitate to post again :)

Hi Narender Rao,

As my experience with printer installation on Linux Lite is limited let's hope some guru will chirp in to help you out.

To motivate the guru I'd like to encourage you to share as much information as possible that might be relevant to your issue, like your hardware configuration and specifically all steps you've taken and error messages/ log file entries you got back.

All the best :)
