I bought a Canon LBP2900B printer yesterday and successfully installed it in Ubuntu (10.4). I had 64 bit Ubuntu installed and hence downloaded the file http://codebin.cotescu.com/canon/lbp_driver/CanonCAPTdriver.tar.gz and executed the command sudo ./canonLBP_install.sh LBP2900 (LBP2900 is same as LBP2900B) after navigating to the directory where i extracted the tar file.

I had Ubuntu 9.10 and upgraded to 10.4. The transition was almost smooth other than the following.
- NetBeans failed to start because only openjdk’s JRE was available and the JDK could not be found. So used the command sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk to install openjdk’s JDK
I use recordmydesktop to produce screen casts occasionally. I was using the below command to convert from ogv to flv format.
mencoder -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=250:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -vf scale=800:600 -o tutorial.flv out.ogv
In the output file which is tutorial.flv, there were small breaks in audio (hiccups). The ogv file was fine as when i played in movie player there were no hiccpus. So the hiccups were introduced during the conversion.
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/HOWTO_Mencoder_Introduction_Guide helped me to make use of the command mencoder -oac help to view the options available and I chose the right options. This helped me to create the output file without any audio hiccups.
