I do not understand how to install a printer driver file for CANON LBP 3200.

Asked by Nalin Ekanayake

When printer controll panel is opend, it indicate that the printer is identified by the system. However, printing is not possble. Therefore I downloaded the printer driver file from internet. But installation procedure via Add/Remove is not clear. Please explain the installation procedure for this as well as for the downloaded softwear/application through the removable media.(This is very helppul when active internet connection is not available)

Hi,

Please download the driver CAPTDRV160.tar.gz from

http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0028622.asp

Then open a Terminal and type the following commands:

cd <name of directory where the CAPTDRV160.tar.gz file is stored>
tar xvfz CAPTDRV160.tar.gz && cd CAPTDRV160/driver/debian
sudo dpkg -i *
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

Go to System/Administration/Printers, add a new printer and select the Canon LBPXXXX CAPT ver.1.6 driver.

Open a Terminal and enter the following commands:

sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart && sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults 20
sudo aa-complain cupsd && sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload
cd /usr/share/cups/model
sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP3200 -m CNCUPSLBP3200CAPTJ.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E
sudo ccpdadmin -p LBP3200 -o /dev/usb/lp0

Then send us output of following commands:

sudo ccpdadmin
captstatusui -P LBP3200

Now try to print again.

If it does not work yet, please follow all the detailed steps here, but replace LBP2900 with LBP3200 in the instructions:
