According to that webpage you posted, there is a Linux driver. It's nice to find Linux support from manufacturers. The bad part is there's no easy installer provided.
In case you didn't know already, a .tar.gz
file is a compressed directory in a file, somewhat like a .zip
.
What you want to do first is extract the .tar.gz file. You can do this by double clicking the downloading cnijfilter-mx430series-3.70-1-deb.tar.gz file and selecting "Extract". After you extract the contents of the archive, navigate to the extracted directory. Inside you will find install.sh
. Double click it - Ubuntu will then ask whether you want to run the program or not. Say that you want to run the program in a terminal.
Tell us if it works, or if the terminal says anything unusual. If it says something along the lines of must be run as superuser
or need root privileges
, then you'll need to run it as root. For that...you'd need to navigate to the directory in a terminal and run sudo install.sh
.
