Hi,
after getting a little bug fixed the "escl" SANE backend is working perfectly
with the scanner in my HP Deskjet 2540 Ink Advantage multi-function device.
I scanned two complete passports (19 pages each) in 300 dpi grayscale (via
simple-scan) without any problem. No crashed and all pages are perfectly
readable. With HPLIP simple-scan offers only 1-bit black and white and full color.
Thank you very much, Thierry!

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,
