Description-en: 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,
Kyocera, Lexmark, Epson, HP, Ricoh, Samsung and Xerox both in WSD and
eSCL modes.
