How to install appropriate driver for Canon image runner 2202n in Ubuntu?

In default printer drivers available in Ubuntu I have found Canon IR 2022 and 2200 but not Canon IR 2202n. Please provide the solution.

Finally I got it running. I downloaded Linux_UFRII_PrinterDriver_V290_uk_EN from http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100270808.html.

I extracted and installed the relevant .deb packages (for my case 64-bit). After this, I added network printer which worked fine for printing.

Install

In the case of Ubuntu 64-bit, printer Canon LBP2900:

git clone https://github.com/hugolpz/Canon_printer.git
cd ./Canon_printer
make -f ./download.mk
sudo make -f ./install.mk BITS=64 PRINTER=LBP2900
sudo make -f ./OS_restart.mk
sudo make -f ./install.mk BITS=64 PRINTER=LBP2900

Adapt to your bitwidth.

OS restart

If printer is not working after install & OS restart :

sudo pkill -9 -x ccpd
sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start   # Output should have 2 numbers of 4 digits !
> Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS: ccpd: 2626 2615    # seems good :)
