Trying to install a Brother DCP-7010 laserprineter with cups.
This is the error text I get. I don't understand

Thanks for helping me Kindly /Jan

An error has occurred opening the DEB file.
Suggestion: install undeb.pup DotPup package, which contains an alternative
DEB extraction program, that PupZip will automatically use if present.

undeb is available as a .pup here:

but i'm curious where the package you're trying to install came from, as you might be able to install it OK, but unless it's compatible with your puppy, it won't work. ( you could possible get it to work with additional libraries, or compiling the source for puppy though).
