1. Never try printing a pdf as a test since it may make you feel your setup (drivers, config) is not working, whilst lpr simply cannot directly print a pdf as a test.
2. Restart a printer itself (physically), it may really help you.

Here's what worked for me

System configuration : ubuntu 16.04 64 bitsLBP2900 CAPT version 1.5

I followed the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190#Ubuntu_13.10_Install

but the printer did not work, then installed everything that was missingfrom here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190#A64-bit_Systems

after that captstatusui -P LBP2900 showed ready to print and I was able to print :)

So it's late March 2017; how to install Canon's CAPT Driver in 64bit Ubuntu?

Canon supply a 64bit driver; just use that; it works well, as detailed here

(Canon must supply all dependencies now as the 64bit driver is fine);

..... you just need to start the ccpd daemon each time you start the computer with the command sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start

This tutorial made my Canon LBP2900B printer work in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

After clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04 my Canon 2900 refused to print. I found out a solution and will now share here with my experience.

Standard method to install driver doesn't work. To install driver manually I downloaded and unpacked them from the official web-site of Canon.

The next step was to choose between the 32- or 64-bit driver. First my decision was to use 64-bit driver, because my OS is also 64-bit. But it was a mistake, 64-bit driver refused to work. So I choose 32-bit driver, unpacked and installed two packages in the following order:

cndrvcups-common.deb

cndrvcups-capt.deb

Then I registered the printer in OS by taping in the terminal:

After the printer appears in menu I marked him as default by right click. All these time the printer must be turned off.

Then I reboot and printer start work.

But after that appears a new problem. When I shuttdown my computer it hangs during 5 minutes. It was caused by ccpd service. So I run:

and added new two lines to empty file:[Service]

TimeoutStopSec=4

Then:

and it shows that the delay was shorted. Next reboot took only several seconds.

That's all.
