Re: Scanner / SANE driver support
sane-service-type seems to only support the minimal backends package:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(define sane-service-type
(service-type
(name 'sane)
(description
"This service provides access to scanners @i{via}
@uref{http://www.sane-project.org, SANE} by installing the necessary udev
rules.")
(default-value sane-backends-minimal)
(extensions
(list (service-extension udev-service-type list)
(service-extension account-service-type
(const %sane-accounts))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
The value of the service is a single package, not a list of packages.
So how does one add support for other scanner?

I use a scanner and I don't have to add anything special to my OS configuration. I just start Simple Scan, and the application detects the scanner. My user is not in the "scanner" group. But the scanner works like this only recently. Before, I had to follow these instructions: https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=38064#11 Also, check that all cables are plugged properly.
