Installing Epson Printer but Interrupted by lsb Dependency Error

I am installing the Epson XP-310 driver from this website.

When I attempt to install the downloaded .deb file, I get the following error:

The Package System is broken 

epson-inkjet-printer-201303w:i386: Depends: lsb(>=3.2) but 4.1+Debian11ubuntu is installed

I'm very confused. It says I must have lsb version >=3.2 but I have 4.1. Why am I getting the dependency error?

I had the same problem with my Epson WF-3520 and the driver from the Epson-Website. This solved my problem:

Try, to make sure the damaged driver will be removed:

sudo apt-get -f install

And then install the driver from the package manager

sudo apt-get install printer-driver-escpr

I installed the package "printer-driver-escpr" version 1.3.0-1 with the package manager and the driver works for me with the Epson WF-3520.

Now, try to install your epson printer.

I was having an awful problem installing my Epson printer in Ubuntu 16.04 I had messages dependences not met lsb3.2 in the ubuntu software center; the same message for gdebi. I will point out at this time the gnome software center apart from being short of a number of packages I have previously used does not show the missing dependences so I installed the two mentioned above. They were not really a lot of use with the exception of telling me there were unmet dependences in the end what I did was to install alien:

sudo apt-get install alien  

Then I went to the Epson site, entered my printer which was Wf -7610 and clicked the search a list came up with debs or rpms - I downloaded the rpm.

Went to the download folder and opened in terminal and ran:

sudo alien -i your_epson_printer_package_file.rpm

Then switched off my printer and went to settings and deleted it.

Restarted the printer it was immediately recognized. then printed a test page, worked perfectly

Just had this exact problem. The 'fix' was to simply download the right version of the drivers - there are 32 and 64 bit versions provided on this site: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/.

I had downloaded the 32 bit (because I hadn't read the filename, just saw .deb and downloaded) but actually needed the 64 bit version - maybe the OP did the same?

I should also point out that, when I used the site, it took a bit of patience to get it to work (lots of 503 errors, download buttons not showing up etc...) but if you keep at it then it'll work in the end :).

Try sudo apt-get -f install

sudo apt-get update

sudo dpkg --configure -a 

then clean the cache

sudo apt-get clean
