The printer in question is an epson xp-2200, I installed drivers from the website for both, printer and scanner. It’s recognized as a printer but not as a scanner.
OS is fedora 42, kde edition.
I’m a bit clueless when it comes to providing info when I need help, so I apologize if this is not enough, I will give any further info that may be needed.
EDIT: Never mind, I didn’t realize that the drivers also installed a program, epson scan 2, that is used to make get the system to see the printer.
While it now works I’m very annoyed that this was needed in the first place (nothing that can be done about it, this is me just venting at how manufacturers do things), wifi printers should just work without needing all this extra steps.
If the drivers do something unexpected then why not email the maintainer, tell them what happen and suggest that if the installation did something different or told you something that would help the users of the products.
