    Hi psharmajnu,

     

    Welcome to the Support Communities!

    The following article will explain how to add a printer to your Mac with OS X Yosemite.  

    OS X Yosemite: Add or remove a printer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18606

     

    Important:    OS X is compatible with most common printers and downloads the latest printer software automatically (if necessary). To make sure you have the latest software, don’t install the software that came with the printer or from the manufacturer’s website. When you add a printer, OS X prompts you to download the latest software if it’s needed. 

    You use Printers & Scanners preferences to set up printers, add and delete printers, and set printer options. (If you switched from a Windows computer to a Mac, use Printers & Scanners preferences like you used the Printing control panel in Windows. For more information, see What’s it called on my Mac?.) 

    No matter what type of printer you want to use, you follow the same general process to get your printer ready to go. If you’re not sure what type of a printer you have, check the packaging that came with your printer. 

     

    If you want to make sure your printer is compatible with OS X, see Apple Support article Printer and scanner software available for download.

    I don't see the Canon LBP 2900 in the list of supported printers, so I've included the link below so that you can contact them for further instructions.

     

    This article is a comprehensive list of currently supported printer and scanner models and associated software provided by third-party vendors as of 13 November 2014.

    Use Software Update before connecting your printer or scanner. This updates the list of the latest supported printer and scanner models on your Mac. If you don't use Software Update before attempting to connect a new printer, you may not see available software when you connect your device. If you're using a Wi-Fi printer, be sure to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network before adding it to your Mac.

     

    To view the complete list of printers and scanners that are supplied by Software Update, see below. You can also use your browser's Find feature (usually Command-F) to search for a specific name or model number in this article. If you cannot find software for the specific model, check the list to see if it is available for a series of printers that may include the model. For example, a printer with the model number 5070 might use the software for the "5000" or "5000 Series."

    I hope this information helps ....
