Ive the install problem with a Canon LBP 2900. Cant finish the instalization cause of cups says 'unable tu add printer'.
Here my instalation steps i made(mayby foomatic i dont need or gutenprint, cause of converting a .deb file of the driver. pls let me know):
1.
-tazpkg -gi gutenprint
with that cups was automaticlly installed too
-tazpkg -gi hal-cups-utils
-tazpkg -gi usbutils
2.
as root: addgroup 'user' lp
3.
as root: leafpad /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
# Administrator user group...
SystemGroup lp <-I replaced 'sys "something"'
-then add the lines like in the doc for usb printer instalation described
4.
as root: lsusb
printer on bus 003 and device 003
as root: chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/003/003
5.
as root: /etc/init.d/cupsd start
got the message: 'Not starting cups deamon: cups deamon is already running [ OK ]'
6.
installed ghostscript-9.06_2.6.37.tazpkg from mojo's post
7.
tazpkg -gi foomatic-filters
tazpkg -gi foomatic-db
tazpkg -gi foomatic-db-engine
tazpkg -gi foomatic-db-engine-nonfree
8.
http://localhost:631 opened with midori
-first search by 'printer' for a printer but nothing
-then: administration->add printer->question for user and password, i typed root with password(dont know if I should use 'user'. but at the second try the loginbox doesnt appeard)
Then i tried at first with the SCSI Printer(unknow) but there werent listed my LBP2900
9.
I converted the official driver from the Canon website to tazpkg(Ive the 32bit .deb and .rpm file)
then installed: 'cndrvcups-capt-2.20-1.tazpkg'
after that: 'cndrvcups-common-2.20-1.tazpkg'
10.
-add printer->(local printer) CAPT Printer(unknow)
-connection I set: /dev/bus/usb/003/003
-typed the name in the next step for the printer description
didnt mark: share printer(I think this is only for a network printer!?)
Because I dont know where the .ppd file is located like its described in the doc I choose
-Canon->Canon LBP2900 CAPT ver1.5(en)
-click on 'add printer' and I got this message:
Add Printer CanonLBP2900 Error
Unable to add printer:
File device URIs have been disabled! To enable, see the FileDevice directive in "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf".
I tryied itseveral times and repeated the command-line steps but i got allways the same message at the end. Im glad be so far.
Please tell me if i need all the packages i installed.
Last question: 'dbus hald firewall slim cupsd' in the doc.
Have I to set this? And where/with what? I dont have any 'controll box'.
Hope someone can help
