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/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.
