Scenario:

You have a label printer, the hardware vendor only provides 32bit drivers but you are using Linux Lite 3.x 64bit.

Code:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Code:
sudo apt-get update

Code:
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386

Install your hardware vendor 32bit debian packages.

Done.
