#215323 — latest epson drivers stoped working with debian 10

Hi,

I've upgraded to the latest version of debian and I've found that the 
oficial drivers of epson are asking to install lsb, but the package has 
been renamed... to lsb-base and now i can't install the drivers.

The printer-driver-escpr package doesn't work with epson wf-7210

Is there any workaround or fix? Or I've to wait until someone from epson 
fixes it?

thanks

duub

Please also cut and paste from a terminal window the exact
command you run together with the error message it produces.

You did not give the command you used for installation. However, I
think we can figure out what you are doing.

You are installing a deb package that you have downloaded from Epson.
This is not the supported way to install the Epson printer drivers on
Debian.

You get this error because dpkg cannot cope with the deb you have given
it to process. What it can process is printer-driver-escpr, which has
been expressly devised to make the Epson file compatible with Debian.

The solution to your issue is:

  apt install printer-driver-escpr

If your wf-7210 does not work with this package, you could have
grounds for a bug report.
