Is Canon printer model LBP 2900B use ptp or ftp? And is Canon printer model LBP 2900B support android app to print? I found that canon use CAPT.

This article provides instructions on how to setup the imageCLASS LBP6030w, LBP6230dw, and LBP7110Cw printers to do wireless printing. It is broken down into six parts.

Part 1 Provides instructions on how to download and install the software.
Part 2 Follow the procedure below to connect your printer to your computer
Part 3 Setting up the printer wirelessly
Part 4 Provides instructions on how to setup your router using WPS.
Part 5 Provides instructions on how to setup your router if you don't have WPS.
Part 6 Provides instructions on how to install the printer driver.

Canon LBP2900B is a fantastic system and adding wireless capabilities makes life easy. Canon team can work on releasing official drivers for Raspberry Pi to make the printer a Wireless capable device, hence making life of the user easy.

For me, this technique works most of the time but I also get errors which are difficult to address. Others are welcome to work on this technique and suggest me anything I should try out to improve the reliability of the system. I have not made a video explanation for this but will surely do if required.

I used Asus PN 40 as it comes cheap and gets my task done flawlessly. Next I used Windows 10 because of its driver support. The prime reason for choosing them was low maintenance in long term and better software support.

All the previous issues I had on Pi were resolved and the performance is much better and reliable, as none of my print jobs failed. Whereas in case of Pi, I had to manually intervene and resolve print server issues. I would definitely recommend this new solution as its easy and reliable. Although the machine costs little more than a Pi, but its worth it, considering the reliability and performance.

The Old Pi now has a better job as Retro Pi and believe me it works perfectly as a Retro Pi. And anyone doing such tinkering, please ensure you have good amount of Time. I think I cannot do much improvements further but will suggest others to explore and find out new problems. If someone is willing to do some improvements here are some areas :

Usually it shows in CUPS List. If not, I remove and re-install, worked for me every time. But believe me, this machine was difficult to maintain in the long run, hence had to switch to other platform !!

Thanks for reply.
I have no reason not to believe you. But I consider replacing it with some same old and cheap HP LJ (not limited to, just an example) more simple and generally reasonble way to deal with that all in all after getting all those weird experience.
It doesnt require from you pretty much anything though does its job just fine pretty much out-of-the-box. The matter of only $40-45 at most in where I am.

Actually the printer works just fine ! No comments on its engineering but the team must work on releasing printer drivers for Linux also! And I believe, this should become the norm as not everyone uses a Windows or Mac nowadays ?!!
