I recently bought a new printer Epson ET-2550
and downloaded the driver via the official Epson website at http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule.
When I tried to install the driver I received the error message:
Dependency is not satisfiable: lsb (>= 3.2)
even though my lsb is 4.1!
I have tried several fixes, including typing the command line:
sudo apt-get install printer-driver-escpr
As recommended here: Ubuntu 16.04 installing Epson driver fails on LSB >= 3.2
Could someone talk me through how to fix this?
I am a fair novice user so simple language would be appreciated.
The driver I am trying to install is titled:
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.6.10-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
Many thanks

UPDATE for Ubuntu 19.10
I realized that with the generic EPSON ET Series drives it doesn't print correctly (prints ASCII carachters :(), so you must modify the Make and Model from "Local Raw Printer" to "Epson Expression ET-2550 EcoTank - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.3.1"
UPDATE for Ubuntu 18.10
I had problems with the configuration in Ubuntu 18.10 with CUPS Server.
IMPORTANT: If you can not print anything probably you have a problem with the .local ending in the Hostname (in my case EPSON14562B)
ORIGINAL Post for Ubuntu 16.10
I have the same All-In-One Printer ET-2550, and those are the steps I followed to configure with the WLAN connection through my Home Router in Ubuntu 16.10 64bits.
First of all connect the Printer to your Home Router using the Display and the Assistant Configurator from the Printer.
Insert the Local IP Address in a Browser (i.e. Firefox) to check that it is the correct IP (you can check it in the Router), in my case: http://192.168.178.33 (you can also use the Printer Hostname i.e. http://epson14562b:631)
Copy it! We will need it later in Ubuntu Configurator
Now You can go to Ubuntu:
If your EPSON Model doesn't appear you have to Install the Drivers first and go to Point 4 again.
You can set a fixed IP to your Printer in your Router configuration in order to avoid probably change of the IP. (Not necessary if you use the hostname of the Printer)
The Scanner works perfectly with the Application "Simple Scan".
To Download the EPSON drivers
Try to configure first without installing any EPSON driver. If the Scanner or/and the Printer are not correctly detected then Install Drivers
Printer
If you want the Epson "Printer Utility" download the .deb Package from:
Install them the way you prefer!
Scanner
Download Ubuntu 16.10 64bits package.
Extract it and execute the "install.sh" File.
