ESCPR method doesn't work for CISS printers like Epson L800 and therefore there is no other way but to install via .deb from Epson site, also the utility for ink tank status and nozzle cleaning needs lsb as well. Please fix this issue so all of us can continue using 16.04 and enjoy its benefits over 14.04 that we currently need to use for compatibility.

I see two possible solutions: - Add a proper replaces field to one of the remaining lsb-* packages, to hopefully fix missing lsb package (maybe it would be useful to also replace other compability packages that are not built anymore). - Re-introduce LSB compatibility packages, but that might be an overkill.
