Attempting to install network printer since upgrading to 21.10 from
21.04 (I had both installed under 21.04).  But neither are now

(One printer is epson artisan 835 - The other is Canon TS9120

Using nothing but the printer tool both installed on previous the version.

On 21.10:
Using settings => printers  add-a-printer. All I get is
`CUPS-BRF-Printer'.

I haven't tried adding the network address because I've been unable to
locate them.  Maybe someone will know how that might be done.

At any rate from googling on this ...

What I did do was install the drivers from the deb package:

  epson-inkjet-printer-artisan-725-835-series_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

After installing that I needed to install `lsb' (which pulled in about
50 pounds of dependencies).

The google info said that once the drivers are installed then the
`add a printer' would find at least the 'epson'.
I haven't found much else via google beyond that kind of advice.

But as mentioned all I get is `CUPS-BRF-Printer'.

Both printers are turned on.  So what else can I do to get this to work?
