There is a friend of mine whom I am helping decide on a new printer: NOT getting HP was the first thing that I said. The reason that she will prolly need a new printer is that she has a machine running Windows 10. Rather than buy a new one to run Win 11 I have suggested Linux - she is receptive to this. Everything works (running off a bootable memory stick) except her printer: a Dell 1320c colour laser printer (a rebadged Fuji Xerox C525 A). I cannot find a CUPS driver for it, it looks as if it was available at some point but not any more. If anyone can offer any hints I would be grateful.
