Firewall preventing Printing/Scanning on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
Hello, I'm trying to use my Epson XP-200 printer/scanner with OpenSUSE Tumblweed.
/etc/sane.d/dll.conf has the "epson2" line uncommented.
/etc/sane.d/epson2.conf has "net autodiscovery" as its last line
My user is part of the "lp" group, which seems to be required for finding printers/scanners
If I disable the firewall completely (using YaST2 firewall program), it works -- the Skanlite software detects my scanner and connects to it. With the firewall enabled, however, Skanlite says SANE cannot find any scanners. I have tried allowing TCP and UDP ports 8610, 8612 (based on suggestions from https://wiki.debian.org/SaneOverNetwork), and 631 (for CUPS) in the "public" zone, and added the "sane" service to "Allowed" services (didn't see a "cups" service option), but Skanlite still says SANE cannot find the scanner.
Is there a way for "net autodiscovery" to work without completely disabling my firewall? What ports/services should I allow? It seems the alternative is to manually specify the printer's IP address in /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf instead of "net autodiscovery", but I would prefer to not hardcode this.
For me I just had to disable the firewall, connect to the printer and print a blank page, and then reenable the firewall and it seemed to work since then. HP printer
Added "mdns" service to allowed list for public zone, still get the SANE error. (Previously added 5353 UDP per another suggestion -- sounds like this is the port for mDNS)
