But that's the exact commands from
https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-how-to-install-canon-lbp2900b-printer-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts/

The printer doesn't even respond, when I press print or clean driver heads.

Have you gone here for Linux Driver:

Linux 64bit and Linux 32bit drivers are listed.

Yes I installed and it doesn't work, I installed all of them alr. sudo dpkg -i *.deb <-(in the /home/kedric/Downloads/linux-capt-drv-v271-uken/64-bit_Driver/Debian)

Was this typo in your terminal as well as the post?

Sorry I typed it wrong here, I installed all of them with no error.

I did this like a thousand times, but it doesn't work, should I try the 32bit drivers even though I'm using a 64bit machine?

#9

32bit can work on 64 but 64 can not work on 32.

You know what, I'm going to just do it. It's the same, it doesn't work. I also tried the PPD files. Did I set up Common Unix Printing System wrong? This is actually the first printer I need to set up manually.
