If you are using CUPS, it should "just work" simply by adding the
printer (or the nearest make/model you can find) from the web
interface.

 
If the printer is IPP compliant, the OP may be able:
# lpadmin -p myprinter -E -v ipp://myprinter.local/ipp/print -m everywhere
 
See lpadmin(8)

In any event,an attempt to install the
print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2
port
failed because it couldn't find the directory
/usr/ports/devel/cmake-core/work/cmake-3.29.3
 
(I have a
/usr/ports/devel/cmake-core/work/cmake-3.28.3
directory instead).
 
Is this a simple matter of upgrading cmake-core?

I was able to do a pkg install of cmake-core
and a port make install of
print/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2
(which has no pkg).

Have not tried printing yet.
