When I print to my Canon LBP2900, Ubuntu shows printing completes, but nothing is really printed.

4 steps are needed:

1) install the drivers

2) Register the printer (PPD)

3) Register the printer in the ccpd daemon setup file

4) Start ccpd daemon

STEP ONE go here http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100459601.html and download and save what will be linux-capt-drv-v271-uken.tar.gz

open a terminal; copy each command below; line by line; paste it into the terminal; hit ENTER key after each paste;

cd Downloads
tar -zxvf linux-capt-drv-v271-uken.tar.gz
cd linux-capt-drv-v271-uken/64-bit_Driver/Debian
sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_3.21-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt_2.71-1_amd64.deb

Now we assume you have only one usb printer; and that is the LBP2900;

STEP TWO

sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP2900CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E

STEP THREE

sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP2900 -o /dev/usb/lp0

STEP FOUR

sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start

then you should be able to open LibreOffice or some programme and see if you can print
