@zero1976, Maybe my post is useless.  
I tested with an old Canon MX340.  
USB worked and in LMDE 7 by wifi as well.  
In EnOS wayland I switched off firewall [similar case in the past](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/simple-scan-is-not-working-anymore/53095/9).  
Now with  
`simple-scan -d`  
wifi mode is unreliable here but out of 5 attempts at least 1 scan is successful.

Finally, if you are planning a reinstall IMHO BTRFS Snapshots are well worth [it.](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/simple-scan-is-not-working-anymore/53095/9)
