Epson Scan 2 cannot connect to network scanner

Just upgraded to Fedora 36.
Downloaded and installed the Epson Scan 2 utility for Fedora.
The Epson Scan 2 application icon is shown in the main menu screen.
After starting it, selection of a scanner is asked.
I submit the address 192.168.1.66 and in the device selection box the
Epson Network Scanner (192.168.1.66) is shown.
When pressing the Next button, the search of scanner fails and the
“Unable to communicate with the scanner.
Check scanner is on and connected to the computer” message shows up.
