Enjoy, Mikeywaf

Please check the USB cable. Please install the printer device driver properly. Check if you have right printer driver for the Operating system you are using. Perform a print head nozzle clean exercise. Give more details of your problem.

The 2900 driver should work for the 2900E. The problem may be that there is a:

Canon SENSYS i-LBP-2900, and

Canon Laser Shot LBP-2900

Which printer do you have? Which driver did you download?
