 Apostolos.

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.

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?
