And after all alternatives are exhausted, including ensuring port 631 on
the firewall is enabled, lpstat -p delivers:
root@Base:~# lpstat -p Epson-WF-C5290
printer Epson-WF-C5290 is idle. enabled since Thu 30 Jul 2020 13:21:48
File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper2" not available: No such
file or directory
Which simply tells me the same as before.
The manufacturer supplied driver is not what the programme wants to
enable the printer, and demands this alternative that doesn't exist
anywhere.
