Suggestion from openprinting forums...

Firstly, install the package with dpkg -i , then change the dependency
on lsb to lsb-base by editing /var/lib/dpkg/status and finding the epson
package in that file. Then change the Depends: line to lsb-base so it
looks like

Depends: lsb-base

Then run apt-get install -f to configure the dirver properly.

The second thing is, because this isn't a real LSB system (or, seems so
to me) then you have to have a LSB compatible loader in /lib64 so we
need to symlink the standard link loader instead.

As root, you would

ln -s /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3

This satisfies the loader for the printfilter.

After these steps, my networked XP-312 worked.

I suspect this to be the case for many of the LSB based Epson drivers on
Ubuntu 16.04 (maybe earlier versions of Ubuntu as well, actually).
