If you have followed the instructions accurately and religiously then it 
should work.

However, I notice that you mention that you have the LBP2900B printer 
whereas the URLs you give above cover the printer model *without* the 
"B" at the end (ie, the 2900).

Is there a difference, and what is it if there is, between the 2900 and 
the 2900B printer?

Have you looked on the Canon site to see if they have a different 
driver, or an upgrade, for the 2900 and the 2900B?

Have you looked at the SANE site to see if there is driver for your "B" 
printer" - http://www.sane-project.org/  ?
