That’s what I’m doing.  Somewhere it told me it depends on libcupsys2,
so I tried installing that and got the following.

steve at fosse:~$ sudo apt-get install libcupsys2

libcups2 is already the newest version.
libcups2 set to manually installed.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
   cnijfilter-common: Depends: libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.1)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or 
specify a solution).

I’ll have another look after I’ve taken the dogs for a walk
