Most 32bit packages are no longer supported since 20.04.

Really manufacturers should be producing 64bit packages now. Please make sure you have downloaded the correct package … 64bit.

Sometimes you can force a 32bit package to be installed … it is kind of hit and miss

Something like this answer would install that dependency.

Whether it will allow that 32bit printer driver to work I have no idea.

Type on a terminal

```
sudo mkdir /etc/rc.local

```

That will create a folder

If the package was expecting a file then you can remove that folder and create a blank file

```
sudo rm /etc/rc.local
sudo touch /etc/rc.local
```
