Found several of their domains and hosting platforms. Domains and IP’s have been reported to Namecheap (they are hosting some of their sites). Site seems to be hosted at 35.214.1.217 - but they might have multiple.

My hunch is that most of these printer setup scams are basically the windows virus / “hackers in your network” scam, with the fake “driver” error just a hook to get a victim on the phone and push for remote access. Oh, it looks like your drivers aren’t installing because of Russian Hackers in your Firewall!
