[nmglug] you wanna help install a printer if your answer is betcha, then read the secret message below.

Usually, when I need to install a *.deb file in Ubuntu, simply 
double-clicking the file opens it up in the "Software Center", from 
where you can click the button to install it.

If you're not shy of the command line, here is a command you can try:

|sudo dpkg -i /PATH/TO/packagename.deb |||

Make sure to replace |/PATH/TO/packagename.deb| with the actual path and 
file name.

After that, I'm guessing it the new printer driver will be available to 
whatever program you're using to print.  It may even provide some sort 
of tool set for dealing with printer maintenance, etc.

Were you able to get the *.deb package installed yet?
