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.
Suggestion from openprinting forums...

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).
