After re-installing Xubuntu 16.04 this morning, I was able to find a
suitable driver for my Epson XP-410 printer by adding the package,
printer-driver-escpr.  There was no requirement for lsb as a
prerequisite.

dpkg -L printer-driver-escpr
/.
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/printer-driver-escpr
/usr/lib/printer-driver-escpr/libescpr.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/cups
/usr/lib/cups/driver
/usr/lib/cups/driver/escpr
/usr/lib/cups/filter
/usr/lib/cups/filter/epson-escpr
/usr/lib/cups/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper
/usr/share
/usr/share/cups
/usr/share/cups/ppd-updaters
/usr/share/cups/ppd-updaters/printer-driver-escpr.ppd-updater
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/printer-driver-escpr
/usr/share/doc/printer-driver-escpr/copyright
/usr/share/doc/printer-driver-escpr/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/lib/printer-driver-escpr/libescpr.so.1

I would recommend that the other affected parties should try this
approach with 16.04.  Stay away from the Epson site downloads.
