By the way, I tried this:

sudo apt install ./epson-inkjet-printer-201207w_1.0.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 epson-inkjet-printer-201207w : Depends: lsb (>= 3.2) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Have you tried aptitude? ('sudo aptitude' if installed) I have found it very good at resolving dependency issues. There are any number of reasons why that version of lsb is not installable; aptitude can at least likely tell you in more detail what the issue is and maybe offer a solution.
