Could you try:

dpkg -l|grep lsb

and post the output.

And are you running 32 or 64bit system?  After all the driver package
you are trying to isntall is 32bit and you might be running a 64bit
system and hence be missing dependancies for that driver.

The main lsb package (not lsb-printing) which seems to be what it depends
depends on lsb-printing, lsb-graphics, lsb-core, and a number of other
packages.

Perhaps just doing 'apt-get install lsb' would solve the problem.
