how to connect canonLBP2900B printer to macbook air. i already installed capt 3000 printer drivers. but the system is not accepting the printer

Question marked as
Use the printer through a Windows PC (print server method)
If you have a Windows laptop or PC nearby:
- Install LBP2900B driver on Windows
- Share the printer over your network
- Add it to the Mac as a Windows shared printer
How to add on Mac:
System Settings → Printers → Add Printer → Windows
Select the shared printer
Choose driver: Generic PCL / Generic PostScript
This method works surprisingly well.
