I've got the same problem (jockey.log attached).

I also have this issue for the Epson Stylus Office BX305FW Plus

I also have this issue with the Epson Stylus Office BX305FW Plus. Bother version 1.0.0 (recommended) and version 1.2.0 are affected. I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin with all the latest updates.

The following is the output from /var/log/jockey.log:

I managed to work around this by doing the following:

Go to the URL in your jockey.log file:

e.g. http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/dists/lsb3.2/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/

Find the appropriate binary (i386 or amd64):

e.g. http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/dists/lsb3.2/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/binary-amd64/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.2.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb.

Go to the terminal and download to an appropriate location and install manually (as follows):

cd ~/Downloads
wget -c http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/op/stable/debian/dists/lsb3.2/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr/binary-amd64/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.2.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.2.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

This will flag up some unmet dependencies, namely the lsb package. Simply do the following:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg -i epson-inkjet-printer-escpr_1.2.0-1lsb3.2_amd64.deb

This should get the printer working whilst this problem is sorted for automatic installation.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug affects me, too. However, gawbul's fix worked perfectly for me.

This bug also affects computers installing drivers for Brother HL-5450DN printers. There may be a general problem downloading Gutenprint drivers.

Also a problem with canon drivers.

2013-11-07 19:55:55,968 ERROR: Binary package gutenprint has no trusted origin, rejecting

For gutenprint driver, CANON PIXMA-MX880

I neglected to mention and thought it was probably pretty important:

I walked through the installation process (automatic, because I am a newer Linux user) on my new 13.01 install of Unbuntu and this printer install for the Canon PixmaMX880 worked flawlessly.

Later the same day when I walked through the exact same process on my older install of 12.04 Ubuntu (it's probably 6 months old) it failed with the above error "no trusted origin".

I am unsure whether the age of the Ubuntu installation or the version of the Ubuntu installation is more impactful, or both.

Workaround, add the key manually:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E5E86C008AA65D56
