Hi Alexander,
I'm really immensely grateful for your wonderful job and what you are
doing for the Linux community. I wouldn't mind being of help. I have
built programs from source before and with your instructions I can do it
again. I can also trace programs, if you tell me exactly what you want
me to trace (the scanimage -L? A specific call to the backend? The saned
process?). My problem is in the moment the time. If you accept that I
contribute like once or twice a week, then consider me on board.

Thank you for your reply. Avahi sees the scanner at Port 80. On ubuntu
20.04 I do have a newer version of SANE, with which the scanner works
with the escl backend. That's fine for now. The only problem is that the
options for the scanner are reduced to a very minimum (no brightness
control, for instance). On 18.04 (Desktop) I solved the problem by
installing the sane-airscan backend, which however has the same minimal
options as escl.
I can try to add these missing options to sane-airscan, but because my
device (Kyocera ECOSYS M2040dn) doesn't support it, I need a volunteer
for testing.
From this person I expect an ability to build sane-airscan from
sources, gather and send me protocol traces (I can help in a case of
any difficulties).
If you are willing to help, we can start now. To begin, I need
protocol traces from the current version.
