An error occurred while trying to add the selected device.

Hi,

I cannot re-add my Epson ET-3760 on a Mac with Monterey.
Steps I've tried so far:

- resetting printing system
- using first aid in recovery mode, just to eliminate other possibilities
- Epson uninstaller

No matter what I do, I get the message in the thread title and cannot add the printer via Wifi.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Is there a new printer driver for Monterey? My Epson required one.

Is there a new printer driver for Monterey? My Epson required one.

The Epson website detects macOS 10.15x, although I have Monterey installed. I downloaded the macOS 12.x drivers and tried installing them. I get a prompt saying the queue needs to be installed manually, and it directs me to install the printer. When I try installing it, that is when I am getting that error.
I might have to run a cabled connection as I am tired of trying many different things without any success for a Wifi connection.

I just fixed it - instead of adding an existing printer (which was already detected), I just added a new one. Probably my fault that I did not try it until now, but the prompts are confusing as they were showing a printer already detected.
