    Deb file installation

    Hi All,
    I have downloaded a printer scanner file brscan2 to my desktop when i follow instructions from other messages to install all i get is could not find file. Do i have to do anything to the file for it to be recognised. i downloaded the two printer files and they installed okay, why does it not recognise the file.

    I typed cd ~/Desktop/
    su
    dpkg -i brscan2
    i am using kubuntu

    one other question how do i remove or uninstall mkdir files i have created

    thanks

    Type complete file name of brscan2 including .deb extension.
    Execute this
    Code:
    cd ~/Desktop
    ls
    sudo dpkg -i <brscan2_file_name>
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
