Driverless scanning is the ability to scan without using a vendor-specific driver and is a reality on Debian 11 with a modern scanner device.[1] Two backends are available for driverless scanning. sane-escl is provided by the SANE project. sane-airscan, an independent backend, is a Debian package.[2] Users are advised that having both on a system is beneficial. The two backends are intended to operate with a network connected device. However, with ipp-usb[3] installed, a USB connected modern scanner device would be treated as a network device if it uses the IPP-over-USB protocol. [4] Please consider enhancing the scanning framework on USB by including ipp-usb as a recommended package. Regards, Brian.
