Alright, thanks. Bazzite doesnβt have great support for this?
I haven't been able to get flatpaks (what you have to use on Bazzite and Kionite) to work with a wifi scanner and I have been using Linux since 2016, so not really beginner friendly. Apparently some people have gotten it working, but still, it works generally out of the box on Fedora, Mint, and Opensuse Tumbleweed I think.
WiFi printing works fine though.
But if you have a USB printer, or don't use the scanner of your WiFi printer, Bazzite is great!
isn't it an issue with flatpaks requiring some permissions that aren't enabled by default?
You should try using Flatseal https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal to check the permissions
I have. I have given them more and more permissions but they can never connect to the saned service and I haven't been able to find a single shred of documentation about it from any atomic distro and my discord messages were ignored. There are a few posts asking about it for various atomic distro but it is very much "it works for me shrug" or "it doesn't work at all so I had to layer the scanner app" with 0 mention in anything about the correct flatpak permissions.
damn, it sucks
Do you use a VPN or something? Sometimes it can block local devices or crash drivers for some reason
