recently, I upgraded my 42.1 box to 42.2 via fresh install. I own an EPSON WorkForce 2760 inkjet printer. With 42.1 I had no trouble using my printer via WLAN. Under 42.2 the setup dialogues have changed significantly, and I can’t get my printer working.
I installed the appropriate EPSON driver and added my printer’s IP address as ip:// device in YaST. It appears in the printer setup and can be configured. Now, when I want to start a print job, printer management tells me it connected successfully to the device. But then it stops, saying “print job not accepted”.
A quick Google research suggested a problem with openSUSE’s firewall, but deactivating the firewall doesn’t change anything.

Perhaps worth checking /var/log/cups/error_log for more information.
If necessary put CUPS in debugging mode with
sudo cupsctl --debug-logging
Cancel any stale print jobs
cancel -a
then try printing again. Examine the error_log. You can share the lengthy output by uploading to https://paste.opensuse.org/ and post the link to it here.
BTW, does a test page print successfully?
I usually use the CUPS web interface for configuration and administrative tasks…
http:/localhost:631/printers
Click on the printer listed then Maintenance > Print Test Page
It may or may not be the issue here, but in any case you could try using the ‘socket://’ protocol instead (as I understand many Epson models support this network protocol).
