[SOLVED] Cannot print anymore over LAN

I have an Epson XP-325 network printer which I used without issues in the past.
Now it doesn't print anymore.
I tried removing and adding it many times but it still doesn't print.
I've also tried printing on the same printer with a Mac and it printed without problems.
The printer is discovered and installed with following URI: dnssd://EPSON%20XP-235%20Series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local/
also avahi-browse --all --ignore-local finds it

$ avahi-browse --all --ignore-local

+ wlp2s0 IPv4 EPSON XP-235 Series                           Stampante UNIX       local
+ wlp2s0 IPv4 EPSON XP-235 Series                           Stampante PDL        local
+ wlp2s0 IPv4 EPSON XP-235 Series                           Sito Web             local
+ wlp2s0 IPv4 EPSON XP-235 Series                           _scanner._tcp       local

But when I print It says the printer cannot be reached

avahi-daemon as well as cups-browsed are up and running.

I also applied this:

But still no luck...

Otherwise raise the debug level, restart cups, try to print and inspec the log.

Do you use one of the AUR drivers? Did you forget to rebuild it?

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot print anymore over LAN

Have you tried visiting the CUPS web interface at http://localhost:631? If the printer you're using requires specific PPD files and/ or drivers, you might have to manually add the printer via the interface.

I'm using different protocol in the end:
