    There’s actually a surprising amount of linux printer drivers that don’t come included with CUPS but are available for download from OEM sites. Canon ships an all in one tar.gz that includes PPD files, DEB and RPM install formats, and a lazy script to install it for you along with any dependencies.

      I have tried to install Canon LBP2900B drivers a thousand times. It does not work on any distribution. I have to use a windows VM.
