That would be neat.

Hi Jirka,
IIRC it is possible even now via saned on the server, but saned doesn't
use WSD or ESCL, just simple TCP transfer between client and server.
In practice it looks like - you have a proprietary or sane-backends
supported USB scanner (sane-airscan doesn't work for USB devices), you
set up ACL on saned and setup clients to connect to the server.
From the README, it looks like some manufacturers allow eSCL to work
over USB too:
However, most (all?) of the eSCL devices will also work over USB, if
IPP-over-USB daemon is installed on your computer
and some are even USB only:
[2]: this device is USB-only, but it works well with the IPP-over-USB
daemon.
I hope this becomes a trend for non networked scanners too.
sane-airscan is a backend for communication with scanner supporting
WSD/ESCL, it doesn't use those protocols for sharing the device.
