Well I thought of something that actually fixed the damn printer. When
I downloaded the damn

i am too cowardish to test such a proposal before making it and that i
also don't know how much this resembles an "apt upgrade" which installs

Debian's package info infrastructure is unresponsive too:

So:

This does not look overly suspicious for sabotaging a keyboard.
