Sorry about the delay or lack of reply

I somehow had a PPD file in one of my steam folders,

in this location

SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/203160/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/spool/drivers/x64/3/

I cannot remember what I ran, either the windows driver or the Epson Photo + exe, I cannot remember well… I just searched for my printer model and found some PPD folders… looked for a 64 bit one

asked Deepseek and seems it was worried about dlls or exes being references

I asked and it spit out this

  1. No Windows DLL references - No .dll files mentioned

  2. No Windows EXE references - No .exe files mentioned

  3. No Windows driver file references - No .sys , .inf , or .cat files

  4. No Windows registry references - No HKEY_* or registry paths

  5. No Windows API calls - No CreateDC , StartDoc , etc.

  6. No Windows DLL references - No .dll files mentioned

  7. No Windows EXE references - No .exe files mentioned

  8. No Windows driver file references - No .sys , .inf , or .cat files

  9. No Windows registry references - No HKEY_* or registry paths

  10. No Windows API calls - No CreateDC , StartDoc , etc.

I transferred my ppd file to
/usr/share/cups/model/

I added the printer as USB then selected the PPD file and I’m good now… Immediate prints, and probably better error detection also less clinking inside the printer while printing

I quickly backed up the PPD file in case I distro hop

There was another in
/etc/cups/ppd

I’d already copied the other from steam files and works fine. This is for in case someone else faces something similar

Note: I had installed both epson scan for rpm ^6.0.0 and the printer utility before doing any of this.
