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.<br>
<br>
If you're not shy of the command line, here is a command you can
try:<br>
<br>
<pre><code>sudo dpkg -i /PATH/TO/packagename.deb
</code><code>
</code></pre>
Make sure to replace <code>/PATH/TO/packagename.deb</code> with the
actual path and file name.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Were you able to get the *.deb package installed yet?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Don't know if this will help but I installed a
printer on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS system . Only difference from
your circumstance is that the printer is a shared network
printer with a static IP address. I pointed the printer install
function to the printer's IP address and it downloaded the
lastest drivers. </div>
