How to install a downloaded printer driver?

[lmyho <lm_yho@yahoo.com>]

Hi All!

I am trying to install a printer on my brand new :) debian system.  I just
downloaded the printer driver (it's a .deb package) from the manufacturer's web. 
The downloaded .deb file is at the usr home dir (/home), but when I use "apt-get
install" to install this driver package, I got msg "E: Couldn't find package".  I
also tried to add the full path of the driver pkg, apt-get still can't find it.:((

Could you please tell me how I can let apt-get recognize this dowloaded driver pkg
and install it, or, where should I put this pkg at so that apt-get can find it?  

Thank you very much for your help!!!

by the way, it's a Brother printer.  Could I find the driver at some place where the
apt-get can find it by itsself?

Thanks!!
leo
