Epson L3251 Wifi printer is not connecting to my MacBook Pro (Monterey12.6.8)

I have bought a new Wifi printer Epson L3251. (not an air-printer)

The printer has connected no problems with my iPhone 7 and my iPad both using the Epson app.

However when I try to use my MacBook Pro (Monterey 12.6.8) it won't connect to the printer.

I've tried to download the Drivers & firmware but the process won't complete as it doesn't recognise the printer even though I am sat next to it.

I've unloaded everything twice, tried to connect via a USB bit nothing seems to work.

The router/Wifi are working well. The printer works well on the other two devices.

My laptop is using the latest software.

If anyone has any help - that would be great.
