Yes, it does.
It doesn't take a quantum leap in realisation to identify it as ET-
M1120.

"Subject:" says "EPSON ET M 1120"
AFAICT it's a monochrome printer from 2019 with some kind of ink tank.
Given the timescale, it probably supports driverless printing.

The EPSON ET M1120 does not come with enough intelligence to be certified
as AirPrintint-capable. Therefore, it may or may not be be a driverless
device. The printer would need to be queried and its attributes examined
to make a decision.

It means that person has put you on their ignore list, or killfile, or
whatever it's called in their mail reader.  They have chosen never to
see anything you write, ever again.

If you still have issues with your printer, I strongly advise you to ask
on the German mailing list, or whichever mailing list speaks your primary
language.  I don't think anyone on this list is interested in continuing
to offer help to you.

The last epson I had that worked with linux was a 4 color C82, well over 
a decade ago. Then it looks as if they started making windows only 
printers because all the normal printer stuff was moved from the driver 
in the printer and put into the windows driver, leaving only the ability 
to put a drop of the chosen color at the chosen xy spot on the paper in 
the printer.  That and the constant battle to keep the nozzle unclogged 
got tiresome and limited the last printer I bought to about 2 months 
life. So that was replaced by a Brother color laser, which worked well 
for around 4 years, then slowly lost its corona wire voltage, an easy 
enough to diagnose problem for me as I am a CET, but brother refused to 
sell me a board despite the fact that I am a CET, fully capable of 
handling that high voltage item. So I brought home their biggest inkjet. 
That was about 8 years ago, and it is still pumping out full color 
images on paper up to tabloid size. A huge device, its also a scanner 
for 11x17 tabloid. I also have a much faster HLL2320dw a B&W laser that 
does duplex on copy paper at 19 pages a minute. And running on linux, 
using the drivers they supply, both run to their full capabilities.

Obviously I am now a Brother fan and I believe in supporting the makers 
who support us. Glaringly obvious in my previous post. But apparently 
this person doesn't want to admit a mistake was made, and the only way 
to solve it is to run an all windows house at much more cost than buying 
another printer that is supported would be.  Brother's consumables cost 
less per page than epson so you get the difference back over time and 
reams of paper.

This may be a duplicate of what wallmart had for sale at $31.95 3 or 4 
years ago, and which I saw the epson label and drove the cart right on by.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

Boot went fine, but it is worth mentioning that grub-update decided
that the "5.10.0-21-amd63-kg" copy of the 5.10.0-21-amd64 kernel
should be the default grub entry.

Oh, so it's update-grub calling update-initramfs, which could
complicate things.

Quite honestly, I don't see why you want to make what are essentially
backup files into part of the working set for both Grub and initramfs,
meaning they have to process duplicate files.

Any time you have a set of files that you're happy with, why not just
copy them to another directory, like /boot/backups/, adding suitable
suffixes. With Grub's flexibility, it's very easy to boot from those
copies instead. Press e at the blue screen, and tweak the filenames.
If you forget where they are or what they're called, press c instead
and go hunting with ls.

Cheers,
David.

In addition to what David wrote, why are you not using the backup
facility of initramfs instead of doing it manually ?

$ cat /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf
[...]
#
# backup_initramfs [ yes | no ]
#
# Default is no
# If set to no leaves no .bak backup files.

backup_initramfs=yes

RTFM ? :)

The solution is in "man update-initramfs" :
update-initramfs -c -k $KERNEL_VERSION

-c creates a new initramfs
-k specifies the version of the kernel
