Eventually you will be returned back to a bash prompt.Īt this point, we have to begin to install all of the programs that the AirPrint functionality will rely on: namely CUPS to process print jobs and the Avahi Daemon to handle the AirPrint announcement. This will take a few minutes as it downloads and installs many packages. Just type in y and press enter to let it continue. This will generate a list of packages to install and will then request approval before continuing. To do this, we type in sudo apt-get upgrade.

Now we need to upgrade the packages installed on the Pi using the new repository information we’ve just downloaded.
#CANON LBP 2900 AIRPRINT UPDATE#
If you get this error just type in sudo apt-get update again. Naturally, this doesn’t quite work as expected, ending with an error requesting another package update. To update the repositories, we type in the command sudo apt-get update. Before we do this, we should update the package repositories as well as update all packages on the Raspberry Pi. We now have to install a whole bunch of packages including CUPS and Avahi. To begin, let’s login to the pi which uses the username pi and password raspberry. I’d like to thank Ryan Finnie for his research into setting up AirPrint on Linux and TJFontaine for his AirPrint Generation Python Script.įor the purpose of this tutorial, I used PuTTY to remotely SSH into my Raspberry Pi from my Windows 7 running Desktop PC. Last week, I put up a video demonstrating it, and today, I bring you the long-promised tutorial so that you can set it up yourself. I used my network laser printer for this, but there is no reason why you couldn’t use a hardwired printer (over USB) on the Pi itself. This allows Apple’s iOS line of devices to print to the Raspberry Pi which then turns around and prints to your regular printer via CUPS. When I first heard of the Pi, I was excited because I wanted it to become an AirPrint Server.

Try windows xp 32bit -> same result as described above.As a $35 pc with very low power requirements, the Raspberry Pi is uniquely suited to serve many different purposes especially as an always-on low power server.
#CANON LBP 2900 AIRPRINT DRIVER#
Tested the different printer driver -> same result as described above. Try to use option "send directly to printer" -> same result as described above I've already tried the following solutions :Īll firewalls and antivirus disabled -> same result as described aboveĭisable "bi-directional printing" in LBP -2900 properties -> printer do nothing If I manually reboot the print spooler only one job is first printed again, then two, then three. To me it looks like the printer could not report windows that the everything was printed fine and so the print job remains in the printer spooler and will be printed over and over again. If a third print job is sent, the first, then the second and then the third is printed again. It comes again to the error message described above. If a new print job is sent to the printer the first print job is printed again and then the second one. Īfter starting a print job the printer starts printing but the printer monitor show a "communication error". The printer is installed by default with USB cable on my Win7 32bit machine and it works well.Īfter installing "USB Printer Controller " the printer is detected by the software, and can be connected. According to compatibility list, the print server should be compatible with my printer Canon LBP-2900.
