Hi list, I thought you might like to know that I've merged the escl backend yesterday. This backend was written by Touboul Nathane and Thierry Huchard at Ordissimo. It is licensed under the terms of the GPL, either version 3 or, at your option, any later version.
The backend should support many of the large range of devices that support Apple's AirPrint protocol. For a long list of potentially supported devices see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311 The backend's description file does not list any specific devices yet but the merge request listed a few devices that are known to work for some definition of work ;-) Please note that the escl backend only supports these devices over a network connection, not via USB or similar connections. The backend currently only supports image data transfer in JPEG format but Thierry indicated he wanted to add support for PNG and PDF as well. For the gory details see merge request 242. https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends/merge_requests/242 On a related note, there is another merge request for a canon_lide70 backend. I'll be getting to that shortly, relatively speaking :-) Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen, LPIC-2 FSF Associate Member since 2004-01-27 GnuPG key: F84A2DD9/B3C0 2F47 EA19 64F4 9F13 F43E B8A4 A88A F84A 2DD9 Support Free Software https://my.fsf.org/donate Join the Free Software Foundation https://my.fsf.org/join
