Canon LBP3000 Printer on Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and 10.04 (Lucid Lynx)

This is my record when I installed Canon LaserShot LBP3000 Printer Driver on Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (Karmic Koala) 32bit.

[May 4, 2010] The following steps worked fine with Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.

Download CAPT Printer Driver for Linux Version 2.00 from Canon.
http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/drv_linux.html

Just follow the steps written in the installation manual by Canon.
I encountered one minor error. See below.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install cupsys

$ sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_2.00-2_i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt_2.00-2_i386.deb

$ sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
sudo: /etc/init.d/cupsys: command not found

I got an error at the step above. So, executed the following line.

$ sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
* Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ OK ]

$ sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP3000 -m CNCUPSLBP3000CAPTJ.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E

Register LBP3000 in the ccpd configuration file.

$ sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP3000 -o /dev/usblp0
CUPS_ConfigPath = /etc/cups/
LOG Path = None
UI Port = 59787

Entry Num : Spooler : Backend : FIFO path : Device Path : Status

[0] : LBP3000 : ccp : //localhost:59687 : /dev/usblp0 : New!!

$ sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start
Starting /usr/sbin/ccpd: .

Register ccpd as service.

$ sudo service ccpd restart
Shutting down /usr/sbin/ccpd: .
Starting /usr/sbin/ccpd: .

That’s all. Sharing the printer with Samba is fairly straightforward.
It’s as simple as:
1. Enable Samba Sharing. (If you enable one Samba Shared Folder with GUI, it will install Samba if you haven’t.)
2. Share the Printer on Samba – In the printer configuration menu, right click the printer and enable sharing.
