Canon LBP 2900 printer does not work in Dapper

[Rudolf Vavruch]

I have tried just about everything to get this printer to work, seriously:

There exists a GNU/Linux driver created by Canon [http://software.canon-europe.com/software/canon_capt_printer_driver_for_linuxs23675.asp] but only for RPM based systems it seems and even when changed into debs they still do not work on Ubuntu.

Noone seems to have figured it out, here are some links to the forums:
