bin is also an extension used with (though not needed) linux binary files (e.g. the limewire binary for linux)

I am a new Kubuntu user. I am dual boot with WinXP. I have located the Epson Drivers that are suitable for my Printer. The download is a .bin file. I cannot open .bin files. I tried to find out something about limewire binary but came up empty handed. How do I open .bin files or RPM? I have KDE and Adept, however, after installing what I found and thought appropriate, was unable to find the engine that opened .bin files. Do you know what it would be called, if in fact I have it installed and don't know it? I have tried to find the information for days now and am being driven with frustration. Can you help? Then, will you help? Thanks!
