Catalina Driver for Canon LBP 2900, Have upgraded to Catalina OS, Now Printer Driver is not supporting. Required Suitable Driver for my Canon LBP2900B Printer Driver for Printer Support for my Mac Mini, So Please Help
Fortunately that is possible.The main problem you must be facing is the 'captmoncnab3 is damaged and must be moved the bin'
this can be bypassed by following steps
1) Remove old printers in system preferences ->printers and scanners
2) Download CAPT Printer Driver & Utilities for Mac V10.0.0
3) Install it
4) Then download the patch
5) Unzip the file and replace the captmoncnab3 file with captmoncnab3(patched) file in the zip by going to finder path /Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSCAPT2/Bidi/captmoncnab3
6) Then replace the CnAC28B9.DAT file in finder path with CnAC28B9.DAT(patched) in finder path /Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSCAPT2/cnaccm
7) Connect to your Canon LBP 2900/2900b & Go to System preferences -> Printers and Scanners and add the printer using Canon LBP3000 CAPT (UK) driver software
8) Now when you try printing you see the dialog box 'captmoncnab3 is damaged and must be moved the bin' so copy the pathname of the patched file captmoncnab3 that we replaced in step 5 and go to terminal
9) After opening terminal window copy this command xattr -cr /The pathname that you copied (be careful of the two "/" after you copy) example : xattr -cr /Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSCAPT2/Bidi/captmoncnab3
10) Restart your system
11) Try printing a file and it will work

Canon didn't support this printer for Mojave as well but there was a solution with this replacing the original captmoncnab3 and CnAC28B9.DAT files.
For Catalina this method doesn't work.
So we need someone to fix it. THX in advance!
Download and install the driver for LBP3000 "CAPT Printer Driver & Utilities for Mac V10.0.1 [macOS 10.13/10.14/10.15" from here https://www.canon.com.au/laser-printers/laser-shot-lbp3000/support
Within the binary files
/Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSCAPT2/Bidi/captmoncnab3
and
/Library/Printers/Canon/CUPSCAPT2/cnaccm/CnAC28B9.DAT
replace all occurrences of "LBP3000" with "LBP2900". You can use the free iHex software available on the App Store to do that. Don't use a Text Editor. In iHex, use the search and replace all, do not forget to select the text for the search fields.
reboot Mac
Download Gatekeeper Helper.dmg:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Syls0VNvXS5ckNtKJ43-jdH8oapOAwXV
or
https://rutracker.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5764352
1) Mount Gatekeeper Helper.dmg;
2) Copy the script file to the user folder. (In the Finder panel on the left is the folder with your user name)
To do this, just drag it there with the mouse.
You need to remove the attributes assigned to the file when writing to the file system disk and make the script executable on the system.
Open the Terminal, copy and paste the command into it:
The code:
xattr -c ~/gtkhelper; chmod +x ~/gtkhelper
3) To run the script, execute in the terminal;
The code:
~/gtkhelper
4) Script Items:
1 - Turn off the SIP
2 - Turn on the SIP
3 - Turn off the SIP for a single application
4 - Self-sign application
5 - Exit
5) Choose the fourth item
6) Drag captmoncnab3 file (edited) to the terminal and press Enter
7) Close everything and restart the computer
8) Connect the LBP2900 to the USB Port and in the System Preferences add a Driver for it specifying the Canon LBP3000 Driver.
Enjoy
Canon won’t support Catalina so your options are to replace or connect to a Windows machine with sharing enabled over the network. Good luck.
No fix, no point hoping for one. Buy Brother. Works plug and play, no hassle.
