Oct 30, 2008 12:02 PM in response to Tara Jainby MrVng,Hi there
I seem to be wrestling with the same problems as many of you...
Purchased the Canon i-sensys LBP2900 some while ago when I still had a PC to use side by side with my mac...now got rid of the PC and noticed that I cannot print with my excellent Canon!
Called Canon and they said LBP2900 is not Mac compatible.
Tried Dexter's advices numerous times with no success....
Any clues?
cheers
MrVng
ps... got 10.5.5 on MacBook -

Do you get errors or Just can't find it in Printer Setup Utility? -
Oct 30, 2008 7:27 PM in response to BDAquaby tometal123,Oh my god, it works great. Never expected it to work, was planning to bring it back tomorrow.
Thanks for the help and the warm welcome. I have an iMac 20" 500gb, 4gb ram. I'm very happy with my new computer and printer, but I have to get used to os x. -

Nah.. don't get any error messages. Nothing appears in the Library -> Printers folder after CAPT installation and reboot and printer restart... tried also copying the above mentioned CAPT folder and adding the 2900 file + restart but still nothing visible in the printer set ups...

Hmmm, since now your problem seems different, and the fact that not many helpers look in Solved Topics for people needing help, we should start you a New Topic.
Here's the link if it's hard to find where to do it...

Dec 25, 2008 6:14 PM in response to Dexter_HDby mnemonic_fx,Hi Dexter, does this method work for LAN over samba printing ?
I have tried everything that you had suggested, and still the printer doesn't show in my driver list. -

Jan 15, 2009 6:04 AM in response to Dexter_HDby Mac Jac,Your CAPT folder works fine, thanks!
However, when I disconnect the usb cable from my Mac and plug it into the airport extreme usb port, I have 2 problems:
1) on the mac I can't add this printer. It shows up with bonjour in print&fax using the correct driver, but I got errror -9672
2) on the windows vista laptop I used bonjour for windows to add this printer which was automatically detected on the network, but trying to print resulted in the error 'illegal port'. I changed it manually in 9103 (was 9101) but didn't work. Also tried via add local printer, TCP/IP protocol and IP address of AirportExtreme but same message about illegal port kept popping up.
Does anyone have solutions? -

Aug 9, 2009 1:12 PM in response to Tara Jainby Nikhil Dhavale,There are people who are not finding their printer despite capt installing and following Dexter's advice. I have an additon in case if other thing's don't work.
At first keep the printer on then
Go to library>>canon>>capt>>utilities>>
open capt Printmonitor
or just open PrintGauge.
Try running this then try setting up. May be it could work. -
Aug 21, 2009 5:54 AM in response to Tara Jainby dowille,Hello! I have the same problem. Tried to do everything dexter and others told but my problem is that I cannot even see my printer in library/printers... Is it because I didn't install printers CD (bought this printer 2 years ago and was using it with another laptop, now I want to use it with my new Macbook)? Plz, anybody can help me? -
Aug 21, 2009 6:30 AM in response to Tara Jainby Nikhil Dhavale,Please download latest Capt drivers from canon. Then get the 5 kb file which is available in dexter's location. Then run the utitlites installed only after you turn on the printer. You get it as location I have given before. i.e. library>> printers>>canon>>capt>>utlities>>capt gauge
and also capt printmonitor
