Ubuntu 16.04 installing Epson driver fails on LSB >= 3.2

Question

Automatic installation of Epson print WP-4015 Ubuntu 16.04 never finish... installation freeze.

If I download latest drivers from epson.net, I can't install DEB package, because of APT writes me that required LSB >= 3.2. But I have installed LSB installed in higher version.

@fkraiem I strongly disagree since the other one doesn't really answer the question. — Gonenc, May 26 '16 at 20:40
