I need LSB package so I can download the drivers to my printer

[jbander]

I have a Epson wf-2630. Nothing loads from the terminal. When I try to download the drivers I get Dependency is not satisfiable LSB(>=3.2) Any help will be welcomed Thank You

sudo apt-get install lsb

Package lsb is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'lsb' has no installation candidate

Debian dropped those packages with the buster series.

You will need to file a bug report with epson since they appear to no longer support debian.

hmm..., the lsb package (or the alternative lsb-compat ) as mentioned is not available in debian 10/buster.
otoh, I've played a bit with "forward"-porting the lsb-compat from debian 9/stretch.
For test I've installed the packages from epson:

Code: Select all

epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.7-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb     
epson-printer-utility_1.1.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb          

which made the epson printer available:

Find attached the forward-patched lsb-compat package, and let us know if the printer works...

hmm, it works here, as described above. So, tell us the steps you have done, might be we find the show stopper.

I've tried to take the drivers from Epson and also from two other sources/ . I've tried to take the LSB From synaptic and your lsb-compat tar that you put in your response , I don't know but with tars when they are opened they have to be put someplace , is there a special place you have to put it so the driver package can find it.

I've tried to take the LSB From synaptic and your lsb-compat tar that you put in your response , I don't know but with tars when they are opened they have to be put someplace , is there a special place you have to put it so the driver package can find it.

Please let us know what exact drivers you downloaded ( the extact file name , please) from Epson. and from other "source", and what you have down with those files.
In addtion: The attached tar file need to be downloaded. E.g. into the Download folder as
lsb-compat_10.20200127_amd64.deb.tar.
Now Right Click from Thunar file manager and "Extract here" and you shall find a new deb-file:
lsb-compat_10.20200127_amd64.deb
Now rightclick on the deb-file and choose "install deb-file",
or alternatively open Terminal with the Download folder and install the deb this way:

Code: Select all

sudo apt ./lsb-compat_10.20200127_amd64.deb

(Note the "./" in front of the deb-file, which means install from currenty path.)
After having installed the lsb-compat deb, you shall be able to tinstall the oringal Espon deb-files.
But please let us know what exact file you have downloaded.
I have downloaded from Epson those two files, having searched for your printer "Epson WF-2630"

Code: Select all

epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.7-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb     
epson-printer-utility_1.1.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb       

and after having installed the "forwarde-ported" lsb-compat, I have installed the two Epson deb-files.
Here how I have tested having files with the same folder.
Open terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ./lsb-compat_10.20200127_amd64.deb 
sudo apt install ./epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.7.7-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb 
sudo apt install ./epson-printer-utility_1.1.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb 

Now open from the Menu "Printer Settings",
and you shall find Epson entry, When you "Choose Drive" navigate to Epson and scroll down the long list to "WF-2630".
+++ EDIT:+++
When you click add new printer, it always try to search for the printer-driver from the local database, if that fails simply do select the Epson-driver manually, by scroling down the long list.
Or for and existing Printer right click -> Properties -> Change Make & Model and select manually the Epson driver.

When I try to load the /home/jbander/epson-printer-utility_1.1.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb I get

Reading package lists... Error!
E: Sub-process Popen returned an error code (2)

It looks like I have the lsb-compat drivers loaded
