Thanks. I'll give that a try. *IF* it works, it will be the first time in my 
experience AI actually has produced useful results. I have a 30+ year history 
with hidden layer neural nets and have always had nothing but contempt for 
them. Going back to an early '80s DARPA project to identify armored vehicles in 
foliage. It was spectacularly successful. At recognizing cloudy days! The 
trainers didn't notice the contrast difference, but the neural net did. A 
friend reports that he is seeing AI generated sections of WSJ articles. English 
speakers would never use the phrasing generated.

I am so sick of people renaming stuff it makes me apoplectic. My usual initial 
question about something "new" is what have they devised a new name for? It's 
very rare I find anything new except the name and some minor enhancement.

My favorite recent AI result was the summer reading list of books that did not 
exist. Real authors, but 3/4 fake titles and synopses. Only topped by images of 
Negro English aristocrats. What happens when the history books are AI 
generated? Next favorite is the lawyer who submitted a brief containing 
non-existent legal precedents. Judge was seriously not happy.

Have Fun!

 Google AI says that

A .deb file is a software package format used by the Debian Linux distribution 
and its derivatives, including Ubuntu and Linux Mint. It's a standard Unix 
archive containing two gzipped or bzipped tar archives: one for control 
information (metadata) and another for the actual data to be installed.

provides .rpm and .deb files for the printer which is attached via wired

The OI printer database doesn't include a driver.  Brother only offers .rpm and 
.deb files for Linux and then various files for MacOS X by release.

Is there an OI native way to extract the PPD from a .rpm or .deb file and 
install it on Hipster 2024.10?
