Canon LBP2900 using CAPT from AUR

Hi, I'm here at my brother's place. He owns a Canon LBP2900 laser printer attached to his box via an USB port. dmesg output after flipping the power switch on the thing is:

usb 5-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5
usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 5 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x2676

Here are the relevant parts of the /etc/rc.conf:

MODULES=(.... usblp)

DAEMONS=(.... @cups @ccpd)

He had installed from the AUR a package called CAPT, and I suppose Canon printers use that, right? I've followed the instructions in the tarball and initialized those daemons you see above, and the printer is indeed listed in the CUPS printers page. Now, the problem is, nothing prints. Jobs get sent, they get spooled, and nothing. Printer just sits there as quiet as a brick. Won't even blink with it's pretty blue LED.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

ccpd[3522]: segfault at b6f91004 ip b7de53a5 sp bf848ec0 error 4 in libc-2.8.so[b7d78000+13c000]

So ccpd isn't running, that's the problem. But how to fix it?
