Hello,
Thank you for writing back! Unfortunately, I think I made a syntax error. Punching in this:
sudo apt install ./scanner_x86_64_1.7.2312301E.deb
returned this:
N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/pi/Downloads/scanner_x86_64_1.7.2312301E.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
I get those error messages also but the install still works fine. They are more of an annoyance than anything. Running 'sudo apt info scanner_x86_64_1.7.2312301E' should show the package as installed.
Thanks,
Matt Timpson 🍉

I have tried and failed to pay computer technicians online to help me because most of them don't work in Linux.
