It was a question, until find this post and making these steps:

  1. Download the .tar.gz printer driver's
  2. Download the old multiarch support (x64)
  3. Download the corresponding tiff lib (x64) requested (located in universe)
  4. Resolve libpng12-0 package dependency (searched and located):

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linuxuprising/libpng12
$ sudo apt-get update

Then, proceed:

$ sudo dpkg -i multiarch-support_2.27-3ubuntu1.2_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libtiff4_3.9.7-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb
$ sudo apt-get install libpng12-0

Lastly we can run the install.sh inside printer drivers file (located inside uncompressed folder)

cnijfilter-ip7200series-3.80-1-deb$ sudo ./install.sh

Follow installation's guide steps to get printer working.
