On other forums write, that you must install "Canon CAPT Printer Driver for Linux." for printer Canon LBP2900B works. I found driver on official site of Canon only for Linux. Driver contain .rpm and .deb files.

It is possible to install this driver on FreeBSD 6.4 ?
How to make it?

No - drivers for Linux (in general) do not work on FreeBSD.

According to openprinting.org, your printer is a paperweight under open source os'es: LBP2900B (http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Canon-LBP2900B)

Blame Canon for not providing the community with all sources for their printer driver.
