This installer is recommended for the following distributions that are currently supported as of the release of this installer:
- Fedora/Ubuntu/CentOS/Debian/UOS/Kylin OS/NeoKylin OS

If this installer is run under distributions for which the support period has ended, the installation of additional system libraries may be necessary after driver installation is complete.

Note that an internet connection is required for installation.

Do you want to continue with installation? (y/n)y

They appear to be using a 32 bit OS and trying to install a 64 bit package.
 
Thank you for sharing the link. I downloaded 'libcupsimage2_2.4.2-3+deb12u4_amd64.deb' and when trying to install get the following error;

@Panchanan, as KGIII notes in post #7, trying to run 64bit packages on a 32bit system is going to fail in this instance. Your system is 32bit according to this output in post #5:
nidhi@NidhiS:~$ uname -a
Linux NidhiS 6.1.0-10-686-pae #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.38-1 (2023-07-14) i686 GNU/Linux

but the package you are trying to install is 64bit: libcupsimage2_2.4.2-3+deb12u4_amd64.deb, as indicated by the "amd64" substring in the name of the package.
 
@osprey, thank you.
I did download 'libcupsimage2_2.4.2-3+deb12u4_arm64.deb' and while installing got the following error;

"

With those messages: "unable to locate ...", it may depend on your sources.list file located at /etc/apt/sources.list. The sources.list file needs to have the correct repositories configured. You can inspect the file on a terminal screen if you write into the terminal the following command:
Code: 
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

If you copy the output here, people can check it.
 
Here is the output as requested.
"
nidhi@NidhiS:~$ cat etc/apt/sources.list
cat: etc/apt/sources.: No such file or directory
cat: list: No such file or directory
nidhi@NidhiS:~$ su -

cat: etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory
"
 
Thanks for the output. The apt command needs a sources.list file to download packages. Here is a typical one for debian 12, bookworm. If you copy the contents to the file: /etc/apt/sources.list, (which you create since it doesn't appear to exist) then you should gain access to the repos with subsequent use of the apt command. You need to be root to do this, either using sudo or the root user.
Code: 
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware contrib non-free

If you cut and paste it, mistakes can be avoided. For details on the matter, see:
in particular chapter 2.1.5.

Might the path be:

/etc/apt/sources.list.d

Which will then show individual files. So, ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d might yield some results.

Yes. It's entirely possible that there is contents in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ which would enable access to repos. The default though during installations in the most recent ones known to me use the /etc/apt/sources.list.

Since the OP has seen the "unable to locate packages" output from apt, it's unclear if a properly configured sources.list exists in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory, but stranger things have happened :)

Perhaps Panchanan can investigate and let the thread know here. In any case, the typical sources.list from the docs mentioned in post #15 should help.
 
@Panchanan - you have a syntax error at #14

That should be /etc/apt/sources,list note the first / - exactly as @osprey provided

Not with my Debian 12 Bookworm Cinnamon, it has nothing in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and uses /etc/apt/sources.list

Yes, thanks Wiz for that observation.

I noticed the command: root@NidhiS:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list, in post #14 did appear to be correct, amongst the incorrect ones, and the output looked as if it was empty before the next incorrect command was made.

I guess this circumstance emphasises how it's better to use code tags with the exact commands that have been entered, perhaps using a cut and paste facility.
 
Here's the output of the commands tried as stated above.
