You cant install Microsoft Internet Explorer on a Linux based system. What would be the point?
As for the printer, you should take the make of the printer (Epson, HP etc) and type it into the search function in the package manager. This should bring up a package to support your printer.

That is not true. You can install IE on Linux. There is a program called WINE which is a windows emulator, that allows you to install virtually any Windows program.

Cheers!

what printer are you using? and what distro of ubuntu? You can install msie on linux but you need to install wine as previously mentioned.

Another way to install IE6 is to install a program similar/related to wine called wine-doors. This has IE6 in its installation list.
