Is it safe to uninstall lsb_release to install my Epson printer driver?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm trying to reinstall my Epson Stylus SX525WD printer after a brand
new install of Fedora 40. I normally install a rpm package found on
http://download.ebz.epson.net/. However the driver that worked in the
past giving all features is called "Printer Driver  ESC/P Driver (full
feature)" and has only a version from 2012:
Stylus SX525WD Printer Driver Linux latest ESC/P Driver (full feature)
All language 02-07-2012
-> epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-635-nx625-series-1.0.1-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm

However, to install it, I'm obliged to remove lsb_release (see below).
Is it safe?

Thanks

When I try to install it, I get this error:
$ sudo dnf install
./epson-inkjet-printer-workforce-635-nx625-series-1.0.1-1lsb3.2.x86_64.rpm
