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. On Wed, Mar 30, 2016 at 4:20 PM, a <a@kaluta.us> wrote:

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? -KR || On 03/30/2016 05:12 PM, John Corey wrote:
