So, is it the end of road? Nah, explorers always have their way around obstacles. Canon LBP2900 doesn’t yet have a working driver for Linux devices and sadly Pi runs on Linux distros. It’s a Raspberry Pi – A very low power consuming cheap device which is powerful enough to get our task done. Well one such device exists that fits all the specification required. How can we address this issue ?įor using a device to act as a dedicated server we need a low power consuming, low cost yet powerful device that will do all the task of communicating with the printer hence act as a dedicated print server. Such an approach is not very practical when using the device at home. One solution is to hook this device up with a System that will act as a Server, keep that device always turned ON and share the printer in the network. But with such great features comes a demerit – One cannot print wirelessly in the device. Very low maintenance device with good printing quality. CANON LBP2900B is a fantastic rugged printer.
