Error failed to open a connection to the device (-21345). Epson ET3750

I can suddenly not scan anymore. Must have happened since the last update of macOS Big Sur. Printer is still reachable and prints ok but the scanner does show above error message. Did all, deleted the printer and all settings, reinstalled the printer via Secure Airprint/Airprint (both options), did not work, printer always reachable. Scanner brings the error message. Installed Epson driver and selected my printer model. Same result. Urgent help requested. Need scanning for work!
