- Description:
- SANE backend for AirScan (eSCL) and WSD document scanner
Similar to how most modern network printers support "driverless" printing,
using the universal vendor-neutral printing protocol, many modern network
scanners and MFPs support "driverless" scanning.
Driverless scanning comes in two flavors:
* Apple AirScan or AirPrint scanning (official protocol name is eSCL)
* Microsoft WSD, or WS-Scan (term WSD means "Web Services for Devices)
This backend implements both protocols, choosing automatically between them.
It was successfully tested with many devices from Brother, Canon, Dell,
Kyocera, Lexmark, Epson, HP, OKI, Panasonic, Pantum, Ricoh, Samsung and
Xerox both in WSD and eSCL modes.

- For install:
- To make the automatic discovery work, you need to have avahi-daemon running.
Make sure that
avahi_daemon_enable="YES"
is in /etc/rc.conf(.local), and start the avahi-daemon service. Some other
program, such as Firefox, may also bind to the mDNS port (5353), so make sure
that avahi-daemon can bind to the port.
To quickly check if your scanner can be discovered, run
avahi-browse -r _uscan._tcp
You should see your scanner listed in the result.
