So, I decided to try printing on it.
First, I took a look at the Wiki page, well, there's 2 packages, but I decided to pick `captdriver-git` as it sounds latest and it does support LBP2900
Right after installation, I do post-installation setups, like adding printer, etcetera..., print test page (random website via Firefox) and it works!
But, who knows that it **would work just once**? Exactly, you heard it right. After that print, it can't be printed
# What happened?
To see what happened behind, I do `lpinfo -v` after restart, unplug, restart printer, the `direct usb://serial/to/printer` is there. But if I make a new job, bang! The USB URI just gone in `lpinfo -v`. After checking permissions, it's all good, like it has read/write, 0666, and it's assigned to group `lp` (and I'm sure I've added myself to that group).
# What did I do next?
Uninstall that, then try capt-src, nope, still dead, even restarting printer, CUPS service, whole system, unplugging doesn't help. And, I'm sure that I have started ccpd service, create new printer like wiki said in this case, as this is an old driver.
So any help? Urgent help!

Additional details:
- I'm using cnrdrvcapt, the one that doesn't have "deprecated" comment.
- I have disabled usblp. If I enable usblp module, it will spam "usblp0: removed" if I press print
- I have followed the Wiki to disable USB auto suspend.
- And no, cable is not damaged
Software
- KDE Plasma
- CUPS
- LibreOffice (Writer)
Hardware:
- Printer connected with USB2.0
- ArchLinux is running portably (directly on USB Flash Drive).
(I hope they don't cause conflicts)
