Does the following command find your printer on a network?

   avahi-browse -rt _uscans._tcp

If yes (which is very likely), it means your device supports eSCL protocol.

At this case you may either use sane-escl driver, included into SANE, or 
sane-airscan driver, not (yet?) included into SANE:

For sane-airscan, binary packages for many popular distroc available here:

You printer also supports IPP-over-USB, so with a help of additional 
software it can be connected to USB but used as if was connected to the 
network. I can tell you more details, if you are interested.
