You can download the driver from
http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0028622.asp
and follow the instructions in the guide available in that page.


--- Instructions extracted from the driver manual---

Installing the Printer Driver

The printer driver must be installed in order to print from Canon
printers using Linux.
The installed files differ depending on the system environment you are using.


In a Debian environment, install the following files:

    * "cndrvcups-common_x.xx-x_i386.deb" : common module for CUPS drivers

    * "cndrvcups-capt_x.xx-x_i386.deb" : CAPT printer driver module

Note

    * The version of each module is indicated as "x.xx-x".
    * Before installing this driver, CUPS must be installed and
started on the operating system. Also make sure that printers can be
added and enabled by various services, according to the security level
that has been set.
    * Because this printer driver uses the CAPT filter, Ghostscript
needs to be installed and updated according to the system environment.
Obtain a Ghostscript module from the website of each operating
system's distributor in advance, according to the system environment.
    * If Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux Version 1.01 or later is
installed, you can update the existing driver without uninstalling it.
For details about updating the printer driver, refer to "Updating the
Printer Driver" of "2. Installing/Uninstalling the Printer Driver".
    * To check the version of the printer driver you are using, refer
to "Checking the Driver Version" in the "Appendix".
    * You cannot print with this printer driver if LBP-1210 is being
used in parallel connection.
    * If you want to use LBP5100/5300/3500/3300/5000 on a network, you
need to set the IP address for the network board before installing the
printer driver. For details on setting the IP address for the network
board, see "Specifying the IP Address for the Network Board" in
"Appendix".

1
Start Linux after installation, and log in as 'root'.

$ su
2

For deb packages:

Enter the following command:

# dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_x.xx-x_i386.deb

Note

    * When you execute the dpkg command from a directory, specify the
path or use the cd command to change the current directory to the
directory containing the printer driver files.
    * For details about the dpkg command, enter "man dpkg" with the
terminal software, such as GNOME Terminal.

3
Install the CAPT printer driver module.

For deb packages:

Enter the following command:

# dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt_x.xx-x_i386.deb
4
Restart CUPS.

For deb packages:

Enter the following command:

# /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

Note

    * Do not register the printer using the "lpadmin" command before
restarting CUPS.

5
Register the printer (PPD) with the print spooler.

Enter the following command:

# /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p [printer name] -m [PPD file name] -v
ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E

Example: To register the LBP5000 in the print spooler as "LBP5000":

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -m CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E

Note

    * For the PPD file corresponding to your printer, refer to
"Supported Canon Products" of "1. Introduction".

6
Register the printer in the ccpd daemon setup file.

USB Connection

Enter the following rpm command:

# /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p [Printer Name] -o [Printer Device Path]

Example: To register LBP5000 in the ccpd daemon setup file:

/usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP5000 -o /dev/usb/lp0

Network Connection

Enter the following rpm command:

# /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p [Printer Name] -o net:[IP address]

Example: To register LBP5000 in the ccpd daemon setup file (IP
address: 172.23.2.72):

/usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP5000 -o net:172.23.2.72

Note

    * In a LAN environment where IP addresses have been assigned, if
the status of the printer cannot be displayed, the CUPS security
settings must be changed. Add the set IP address to the following
items in the cupsd.conf file (/etc/cups/cupsd.conf), and restart CUPS.

      <Location />
      <Location /admin>

      Example:

      :
      <Location />
      Order Deny,Allow
      Deny From All
      Allow From 127.0.0.1
      Allow From XXX.XXX.XXX. (Substitute the set IP address here.)
      </Location>
      :
      <Location /admin>
      :
      Order Deny,Allow
      Deny From All
      Allow From 127.0.0.1
      Allow From XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX(Substitute the set IP address here.)
      :
      </Location>
    * For information about the security settings for networks, refer
to the "CUPS Software Administrators Manual" at
http://www.cups.org/sam.html.

7
Start ccpd daemon.

Enter the following command.

# /etc/init.d/ccpd start

Note

    * It would be convenient to set ccpd daemon to start automatically
when Linux starts up.
