Open your Downloads directory, locate the downloaded file (it will be in .tar.gz format).
tar.gz merely means that the file is a compressed (gz) package (tar=tape archive) that contains all the necessary ingredients for your printer driver.
Right click on the file and select "Extract Here" from the drop-down menu. That will uncompress the file and create a new folder. Within that folder will be a README file to advise you how to install the driver.
