Yes, I do. The script starts with
#!/usr/bin/python3
from gi.repository import GLib, PackageKitGlib
which for me means use of GIR, with Python 3.

Does thios mean that Epson has used the name "printdriver" somewhere on

I think that Ubuntu's apt-daemon is used. What is aptcc and how can I

"pkcon install openprinting-gutenprint" gives the same error ("Fatal
error: The versuion 5.2.7-1lsb3.2/printdriver of openprinting-gutenprint
isn't available.").
