[SOLVED ] In that I now know the problem is with the printer database Hi During 2023 I had to give up on PeppermintOS as I could not get either of my printers to work.

Hi Just installed Peppermint again after a break because of video card failure. With the exception of being able to print all is working fine. I have tried 5 "yes five" other Debian based distros on this system to see if there was a hardware problem but all allowed me to print. It may be that the printer is connected via a parallel (centonics) interface or lack of operator knowledge. The printer is an Epson EPL 5700 laser any advice please Thanks john
