How to make Canon LBP2900B work on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS?

After clean installation of Ubuntu 16.04 my Canon LBP2900 refused to print. I found out a solution.

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:
Check which packages are installed (32bit/64bit)
$ dpkg -l | grep -i cndrvcups

Remove the existing 64 bit installed packages:
$ apt-get remove --purge cndrvcups-*

Install 32 bit packages
$ sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-common.deb 
$ sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt.deb

If some dependency errors, then,
$ apt-get install -f


Then reboot and start work after reinstalling printer.

Cups printing issue

CUPS: Adding printer fails with “Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success”

When installing a new printer using the CUPS web interface, instead of displaying the list of drivers only the message

Unable to get list of printer drivers:
Success

OR

When i try to list printer drivers with command line,

$ lpinfo -m

lpinfo: success

is displayed. No printers drivers list can be shown.

Workaround:

Cups runs lpinfo -m to get a list of printer drivers, and this runs scripts in /usr/lib/cups/driver, and one of these is causing problems. By removing all scripts and adding them one by one you can determine which script is causing the problems.

Move all the scripts to a subdirectory, so that they are ignored.

cd /usr/lib/cups/driver
mkdir /opt/driver
mv * /opt/driver/

then copy one by one driver to original location.
for ex.

cp /opt/driver/cupsfilter /usr/lib/cups/driver

you can check it by running lpinfo command

lpinfo -m

All drivers are showing. Place files one by one and check.
