Yosemite Driver for Canon LBP 2900

Don't let it stop you - The speed boost from El Capitan is worth the cost of a new cheap laser printer that works properly with Apple. That's what I've decided anyway.

saw in some where this solution !

1. Delete your printer in Printers and scanners preferences.

2. Restart computer.

3. Download and install the following driver Ver 3.85 which supports EL Capitan: http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100420705.html

4. Restart computer.

5. Download and install the patch from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/8657014/Driver/LBP2900/MAC/Yosemite/Canon%20 LBP2900%20patcher.dmg

6. Restart computer.

7. Connect the printer with USB, add the driver in Printers and scanners preferences, select the appropriate driver.

Anyone can try and feedback here?

Congratulations! That works, for me anyway.

worked for me aswell! thanks

I wanted to try what you've suggested... but I am getting a message that a newer version is already installed and is not letting me install the 3.80. I had installed the 3.85 but it did not work with the patch. And now I cannot downgrade to a lower driver version... I have manually deleted all the folders containing the Canon drivers as described on help forums online... but still no luck. Can you help me remove the newer version so I can try the 3.80 plus the patch?

Let me know what and where to delete manually so I can get rid of the traces of the CAPT driver.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you. This helped me. canon engineer said canon 2900b not compatible...the dealer from whom I bought the printer suggested an exchange offer. thanks to this post....Problem solved...Money saved.

Hi there

Thanks a lot to illuzii. Now my printer works on my MAC

Looking for a way to install the LBP2900 on OS X El Capitan, I found this topic.

Wanted to undergo the risk to fallow illuzii suggested steps (El Capitan instead of Yosemite) and finally everything was good!

Just the link at step 3 let me download the latest version of Canon driver (3.86 instead of 3.67)

No problem with the patcher in step 5, even if it referred to previous OS X Mavericks

Thanks again

omg! omg! after trying 2 million things...this is the one that works! restarting 3 times is the key to success, as well as making sure there are no

other drivers left from old installs.

I bought the Canon 2920 not even thinking that it wouldnt work with my (pretty old by now) Yosemite 10.10.5, so wasted a lot of time

trying to install it by the Canon website.

Works perfectly now tho, thanks to the patches!

yay!

😁

Worked for me..Thanks
