I try to install an advanced print-driver for Kyocera TASKalfa 3252ci.

The Problem is that python-reportlab is not installable for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

There is only python3-reportlab but this is not working with that print-driver.

Also python-is-python2 and python-is-python3 are not working.

Is there a possibility to fix this problem?

Terminal:

$ sudo dpkg -i kyodialog_5.0-0_amd64.deb 

(Reading database ... 275586 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack kyodialog_5.0-0_amd64.deb ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kyodialog:

  • If your driver won't work with python3-reportlab then you could look for newer driver. Failing that you could install python-is-python2, then get these 2 packages, packages.ubuntu.com/eoan-updates/python-reportlab & packages.ubuntu.com/eoan-updates/python-reportlab-accel Then install both together with apt. Ex. - sudo apt install ~/Downloads/python-reportlab_3.5.23-1ubuntu0.1_all.deb ~/Downloads/python-reportlab-accel_3.5.23-1ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb Or go back to 18.04..

Many thanks. Solved the problem.

sudo apt-get install python-is-python2

Download python-reportlab & python-reportlab-accel

wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python-reportlab/python-reportlab_3.5.23-1ubuntu0.1_all.deb

wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/python-reportlab/python-reportlab-accel_3.5.23-1ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb

sudo apt install ./python-reportlab_3.5.23-1ubuntu0.1_all.deb ./python-reportlab-accel_3.5.23-1ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb

Now it was possible to install the driver.

  • Thanks a lot! I was mistakenly running dpkg -i instead of apt install on the downloaded debs. Does anybody know the difference ?
