Scroll to the bottom and click on "Accept&Download". Choose for "safe file".
Go to the Download folder and rightclick on it and choose "Unpack here" (or something like that, I have a Dutch version of Ubuntu).
Than you see a folder with the name: Linux_CAPT_PrinterDriver_V260_uk_EN
Double click and choose in the folder for the 32bit or 64bit folder, than choose the folder Debian.
FIRST you doubleclick on the second .deb file to install: cndrvcups-common_2.60-1_amd64.deb
And than the first .deb file to install: cndrvcups-capt_2.60-1_amd64.deb

(I install always first gdebi to install downloaded .deb files. So if you will do that than open a terminal en type: sudo apt-get install gdebi
When you install now the .deb files you rightclick on the file and choose: "Open with:" and than choose "GDebi PackageInstaller"
It's easy and if there is a problem than you get a message/error.)
