CANON LBP 2900

I have just bought a canon laser jet printer as above and cannot make it work on my imac. The name of the printer doesn't come up on the list they provide and when i try to print it says 33% complete and then stops without printing anything. Anyone know what to do?

Do you get errors or Just can't find it in Printer Setup Utility?

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.
