How To Fix cjet: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu cjet is provided by printer-driver-cjet package.

printer-driver-cjet is:

CJET filters printer data from stdin to stdout, converting HP PCL (Printer Command Language) escape sequences and data structures, e.g. font headers, to their CaPSL equivalents.

CaPSL stands for Canon Printing System Language. It is a set of control command developed for the Canon European Language Printer. CaPSL was used in Canon Export Models such as LBP-8markIII series and LBP-4series. Canon’s older Japanese models (LBP-A404 GII etc. LIPS-III as default command) usually have CaPSL emulation mode.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.
