Canon LBP2900 Printer in OS X Lion

Now we have CAPT Printer Driver Ver.3.36 for Mac OS X v10.7

But older driver for lbp2900 no supported with new CAPT, old CAPT no supported with 10.7.

How install LBP 2900 in OS X Lion?

Mac OS X (10.7)

I've tried this trick which was meant for OSX TIger, but surprisely it works in my freshly installed Lion..


- Find in Library/Printers/Canon the folder CAPT and rename it in CAPT_OLD (as you prefer).


- Download this folder [boolet.free.fr] .


- Copy the new folder into Library/Printers/Canon.


- Restart your mac.


- Download and install the last version of Canon Capt driver from here [software.canon-europe.com] .


- Restart your mac again.


- The printer shoud work.


Original idea is from nico of OpenPrinting user forum.. Thanks

It was working well when I upgraded my Snow Leopard to Lion.. Then I reformatted my HD, did fresh installation of installed Lion, followed the above mentioned steps.. but I skipped the first step as no CAPT folder in newly installed Lion.. then follow exactly this


- Download this folder [boolet.free.fr] .

- Copy the new folder into Library/Printers/Canon. (root HD, not your home folder)

- Restart your mac.

- Download and install the last version of Canon Capt driver from here [software.canon-europe.com] .

- Restart your mac again.


Or anyone else have a solution that works for everyone.. Maybe I'm just lucky...


Thanks
