Install Brother QL700 label printer on Lubuntu

I've tried installing QL700 on Lubuntu. In the online instructions which I found, it's mentioned to install driver using CLI.

1. Turn on the printer and connect the USB cable.
2. Click the close button if the installation wizard comes up.
3. Open the terminal and go to the directory where the driver is.
4. Install driver. Command : dpkg -i --force-all (drivername)
5. Check if the driver is installed. Command : dpkg -l | grep Brother

CLI says I need read/ write permission for dpkg? Can anyone help?

The files I am trying to print are XML files (I don't know if this makes any difference and I've installed OpenOffice instead of the abiword that came pre-loaded.

Also what is the driver name? (I used QL700pdrv.3.1.5-0i386deb)

Thanks.
