Hi Gabriel,
 There are a series of EPSG codes that are not in the standard EPSG support 
file, 42304 is one of them. These are codes that were created by the 
community that were not included in the master list by the EPSG. 
 Find the 'EPSG' file in your Proj directory, add the following lines to the 
end of the file:
 ## WGS84 / LCC Canada
<42101> +proj=lcc +ellps=WGS84 +lat_0=0 +lon_0=-95 +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77 
+x_0=0 +y_0=-8000000.0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m no_defs <>
## NAD83 / BC Albers
<42102> +proj=aea +ellps=GRS80 +lat_0=45 +lon_0=-126.0 +lat_1=50.0 +lat_2=
58.5 +x_0=1000000.0 +y_0=0 +datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <>
#
## NAD83 LCC for Canada
<42304> +proj=lcc +ellps=GRS80 +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-95 +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77 
+datum=NAD83 +units=m no_defs <>
  I believe recently these projections were added to the standard list, in 
the 32xxx range, if someone can point us to a place to download the most 
current version of the file.
 Cheers,
