How to print from router?

I have been trying to set up my Epson L380 printer to print via my Nokia G-140W-F router. I have enabled printer sharing on my router (see the screenshot 1). I am unable to add the printer to my Mac as a network printer. When I attempt to add, it doesn't add and I get an error message - "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time".

Enabled printer sharing under router USB settings.

Error I get:

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.1

You will need to load the Mac driver, available here:

if you set your network port (Wi-Fi and/or Ethernet, whichever you use most) IPv6 to "Link-local only", your printers will be easier to find, and appear automatically in the "add-A-Printer" dialog box, using of Bonjour discovery protocol. This is what mine looks like:

192.168.0.1 is likely your router's ip address not your printer's. What happens when you click "continue"?

Neither your printer nor the router are Apple products. Maybe look in the router's user's manual to confirm you are correctly connecting and configuring the printer and the router.
