The #canon #laserprinter #LBP2900 doesn't like #linux

- the 64 bit driver doesn't work by itself: a lot of magic is required, including installing the 32 bit driver
- the 32 bit driver won't install on Ubuntu 22.04 due to non-solvable dependencies.

Enter #docker .

I'm using a #32bit #ubuntu_18 docker image as a base, installing the 32 bit Canon driver there, and using a modded CUPS configuration based on https://github.com/anujdatar/cups-docker/blob/main/Dockerfile

#linuxadventures helping friends and family!
