Try to install LSB package, recieve error

[Jason_Schuette]

I am new to learning Ubuntu, currently I am using 15.01, I bought a Epson wf3640, tried to install package lsb, as stated by epson website. receive error. Now I can't seem to install any other software without receiving the same error in the terminal. This is a copy from the terminal.

dpkg: error processing package lsb-printing (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
heirloom-mailx

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

A link to the instructions would be very helpful.

What you have copied seems like a summary of the dependency error. All the useful deails would be above the summary. Scroll up and show us all of those details.

Reinstalling 'at 3.1.16-1ubuntu1' did the trick.
