  • i cant' belive but now the printer works fine...after a lot of attempts i found a good solution...i share my solution:


    1) install cups and other packages:
    sudo apt-get install cups
    sudo apt-get install build-essential


    2) download the driver from this link http://www.boichat.ch/nicolas/capt/capt-0.1.tar.gz and extract it on the path /usr/src/


    3) install the driver:
    sudo usermod -a -G lpadmin accountName (usually admin)
    cd /usr/src/capt-0.1
    make
    make install
    modprobe usblp
    chmod a+rw /dev/usb/lp0
    /etc/init.d/cups restart


    4) Go to "yourIP":631 and add the print using the driver lbp-810 (it works fine)..VERY IMPORTANT: when you add the print rem
    to go to miscellanous and set alwaysReset


    5)Change DeviceURI usb://Canon/LASER%20SHOT%20LBP-1120?serial=0158030E with DeviceURI serial:/dev/null on /etc/cups/printers.conf:
    sudo nano /etc/cups/printers.conf -> make the change
    /etc/init.d/cups restart


    end



    I recommend to control the printer with google cloud print (to add the printer you can use cloudprint-service)
