Problem Installing Driver for Epson WF-2630
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 I downloaded the *.deb file from the Epson web site: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.4.5-1lsb3.2_i386.deb It starts in the Ubuntu Software Centre, but I get an error message: "New software can't be installed, because there is a problem with the software currently installed. Do you want to repair this problem now?" I click "Repair". I am prompted for my password. In a few seconds I return to the Ubuntu Software Centre. I click "Install" Then a window pops up saying "Package operation failed" I check the details and I see: "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of epson-inkjet-printer-escpr: epson-inkjet-printer-escpr depends on lsb (>= 3.2)." So I download lsb-printing_4.0-0ubuntu8_i386.deb I try to install, but the Ubuntu Software Centre prompts me to Remove. So, at this point I am calling out for HELP! Thanks in advance -- Stephen
Hi Stephen:
I am running Ubuntu 14.04
I downloaded the *.deb file from the Epson web site:
epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.4.5-1lsb3.2_i386.deb
Getting the right LSB package installed can be a pain. If you're not using paper larger than Letter, the standard CUPS ESC/P-R driver /should/ drive this printer fairly well. I've had the larger (size of a small tank, to be honest) WF-7520 for years, and it's been great. Duplex ADF scanning, SANE support over the network, scan to SD card (which appears as a samba share on the network) ... it just works. cheers, Stewart

I have confirmed that I have LSB 4.1 installed using the Ubuntu Software Centre. But the install of the Epson driver still asserts a dependency error needed >=3.2 I have run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. -- Stephen

Could you try: dpkg -l|grep lsb and post the output. And are you running 32 or 64bit system? After all the driver package you are trying to isntall is 32bit and you might be running a 64bit system and hence be missing dependancies for that driver. The main lsb package (not lsb-printing) which seems to be what it depends depends on lsb-printing, lsb-graphics, lsb-core, and a number of other packages. Perhaps just doing 'apt-get install lsb' would solve the problem. -- Len Sorensen

This was the problem. Silly. Using the 64bit driver fixed everything! Thanks -- Stephen

Oh so there was an amd64 package? -- Len Sorensen
