what happened to system-config-printer?

AlbersNov 19 2021

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a printer in OL8.5, but system-config-printer is not installable:
<code>[tba@koto ~]$ sudo dnf install system-config-printer
Last metadata expiration check: 1:26:39 ago on Fri 19 Nov 2021 15:51:19 CET.
No match for argument: system-config-printer
Error: Unable to find a match: system-config-printer
[tba@koto ~]$
</code>
And:
<code>
[tba@koto ~]$ sudo dnf search system-config-printer
Last metadata expiration check: 1:27:52 ago on Fri 19 Nov 2021 15:51:19 CET.

</code>

So what on earth is system-config-printer.SRC ??

I appreciate any advice.
