    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

    Hi, welcome to the fora.

    Please reboot the computer, run
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    and
    Code:
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    and post the results.
    2017-12-21: Buntu 17.10 contains a bug which can damage UEFI hardware.

    For now don't install 17.10. Updating an existing installation and upgrading to 17.10 (if one has faith in upgrades in general) are safe as they will pull in a fixed kernel.

    I ran the update and the upgrade. I was prompted to do a remove and than -f update.

    Now the CL programs run clean.

    I try to install lsb-printing_4.0-0ubuntu8_i386.deb but Ubuntu Software Centre says 4.1 is installed.

    I try to install epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.4.5-1lsb3.2_i386.deb but I get the same dependency error, claiming it needs >=3.2 of lsb.

    Let's install with command line in stead of Software Centre. It gives more useful error messages.

    What is the result from
    Code:
    apt-cache policy lsb
    ?

    If you download the 64 bit driver package, what does the following command yield?

    Code:
    sudo dpkg -i epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_<64 bit version>

    The 64 bit driver was the solution!

    I started with the 32 bit driver. Silly mistake.

    All is working.

    Thanks
