Kubuntu-terminal installation

[darthman8]

I am running Kubuntu, ive downloaded files to install drivers for my new printer DCP-130C. I can create a path to the download folder but having problems with getting the terminal to install them, can anybody show me how to input the correct command.
I have two files the lpr installed first then the cups wrapper, or do i have to install in root.
The other alternative is to install the ppd file. the instructions say copy ppd file from bundled cd rom of product to /usr/share/cups/model/. Does this mean this is already created and if not how do i copy the file and create the path /user/share!!. As you can gather i am new to terminal using
but can't find the answer in other help sites

Welcome to the forums!

The /usr/share/cups/model directory already exists if you've installed CUPS, so all you need to do is copy the .ppd file to that directory. Once you copy the file there, you might need to restart CUPS for it to show up as a choice when you go to add your printer.

The command for copying the file to that directory would be (if you are using sudo):

sudo cp /the/path/to/your.ppd /usr/share/cups/model

Once this is done, you can point your web browser to localhost:631 and follow the steps there to add your printer.

Thanks for the advice Ozar,
How do i install a file once i have created a path to it assuming the path ended at downloads. If i type ls downloads they show red and blue files but i am not sure if this indicates red for root access only and if so do i have to create a root account or can i use the set up account. This is to install the cups wrapper first before i install the ppd file.

PS with the ppd file do i copy the whole cd or any specific file

Thanks
