Both
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-LBP_2900
and
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Canon/Canon-LBP_2900B
list this piece of hardware as "Paperweight", see
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/database/databaseintro
what "Paperweight" means: "These printers don't work at all."

You should ask the manufacturer of this piece of hardware
for a Linux driver - at least to make the manufacturer
of such kind of hardware aware that there are customers
who bought his hardware to use it with Linux.
