I even tried to run the .deb file manually and got an error about unmet dependences. Does anyone have any recent information on how to get this thing to work? maybe newer drivers?

The name of the package that won't install is cnijfilter-mx430series-3.70-1-deb/packages/cnijfilter-mx430series_3.70-1_amd64.deb the only message I get just says it can't be installed. I'm using QAPT to install it. It doesn't offer any background information as to why. I don't know what else I can add to this. When I ran the install.sh file it didn't offer any great volume of information either. Basically I'm asking is there a newer package  that might be more compatible with the newer Kubuntu systems? If so where can I download them and how do I install them? My success with install.sh files is 98% failure 2% I have no idea why it worked. I prefer .deb files for that very reason. Nothing requiring shell scripts at all. I am not a programmer nor am I willing to become one. At All.
