On my system, in the Network window of the Finder, I have two icons:  A
monitor labelled "EPSON Artisan 837" and a PC labeled "epson3ede96". 
Clicking on either of them opens a window with two folders,
"MEMORYCARD" and "USBSTORAGE".  They also appear in the sidebar under
"Shared" when "Connected computers" is checked.

The printer is connected via WiFi.

I suspect that is what the OP is seeing (but with different labels).
