  1. launch ccpd service and enable it during boot
sudo systemctl enable --now ccpd
  1. Create udev rule for the device to be on predictable mount point
udevadm info -a -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/usb/lp0)

Check for ATTRS{serial}=="some value" near ATTRS{product}=="Canon CAPT USB Device", copy the serial value.

  1. Write new udev rule
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/99-printer.rules

place following code

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="some value", SYMLINK+="canonLBP"
  1. reboot udev service
sudo systemctl restart systemd-udevd.service
  1. Turn off and on the printer and check the rule
ls -al /dev/canonLBP

if you see /dev/canonLBP -> usb/lp0 you are good to go

  1. Update ccpdadmin
sudo ccpdadmin -p LBP-810 -o /dev/canonLBP
