Driverless scanning for WSD and ESCL supported scanners is coming

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I would like to announce sane-airscan project [1] will be shipped in the
official Fedora repositories from Fedora 32 [2].

sane-airscan implements a backend for Microsoft WSD and ESCL (usually
called AirScan, originating from Apple) protocols, which are common in
newer (2012+) scanners and multi-function devices for scanning.

Using sane-airscan, newer devices don't need vendor proprietary software
for scanning any longer (e.g. hplip with its hp-plugin).

The project is divided into main package - sane-airscan - which contains
helper tool - airscan-discover - for discovering devices in setups,
where automatic DNS-SD discovery doesn't do the trick, and subpackage -
libsane-airscan - which the main package requires and the common known
project for scanning - sane-backends - will require to get the backend
into common scanning stack installation.

Please feel free to test it.


Have a nice day,

Zdenek
