Printing and scanning documents with pinephone?

I want to print and scan papers from a pinephone pro. I know they are linux machines, but can they handel this? I have epson and brother gear.

I don't want to connect through the network and Internet, but through usb or wifi direct.

Thanks.

scanning the current camera stuff works but the missing libs to convert to an image file currently crash the camera app, scour the forum and I recall there was a post for hand-loading the libs.

if the printer scanner is in the mainline kernel you should be golden ie if it already works in Debian...
