This is definitely NOT solved. I agree with ghosts above.
Canon LBP2900 will not install in any compatibility mode presented on Windows 7 64bit. I have tried XP SP3 (under which it worked fine) and all the others too.
Canon say their driver works for Win 7 but they lie. Their driver support (for cameras too) is hopeless.
I don't know if anybody is still interested, but Canon released a 64 bit Windows driver for the LBP 2900 printer on 9th March 2010. It is on the Canon Europe website. I have installed it successfully on Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. Here is the download link for the Englsih version http://files.canon-europe.com/files/...n_x64_EN_7.exe
Thanks indeed. Luckily I had not got rid of my 2900 as I had an old OKI that I installed on 7 x64 as a standby.
I called Canon UK about a month ago and they just said "in development" so good to see them arrive, albeit late on the scene.
I can confirm these drivers are working 100% fine.

If you can not install this driver for windows 7 x64, maybe your Printer spooler service is desactivated.
Make sure it is not going to : Control panel --> Administration device --> Services
Right click --> Printer spooler
Click --> Proprieties --> Starting type: Automatic.
Hope it will be usefull
