Not done this with an epson but with another printer I had to install the printer with a cable connection first and I had to use a static IP.

Further to John’s good advice, CUPS may be able to discover the network printer if the firewall is temporarily stopped first

systemctl stop SuSEfirewall2.service

As an alternative to using YaST, you could use the native CUPS web interface to configure the printer using a browser

http://localhost:631/admin

BTW, don’t forget to install the Epson drivers first.
