Mixing is no problem.
If on the system you have installed the RPM or DEB of sane-airscan (with
IPP Scan support), all SANE-using RPM- or DEB-installed applications use
it. So they all can scan on a Scanner Application, independent whether
it is sandboxed or not, as the when we sandbox a Scanner Application we
take care that it can communicate with the network, at least with the
involved services.
If we sadnbox the client, SANE-using application, we include the
IPP-Scan-supporting sane-airscan in the package and allow the sandboxed
application to access the network services needed to connet to Scanner
Applications. We need to provide all scanner drivers as Scanner
Application, as the sandboxed applications come only with sane-airscan
and not with full sane-backends.
