In theory, this backend should work with any scanner that supports the eSCL protocol (unofficially known as AirScan or AirPrint scanning). In practice, it was tested on several devices from Canon, Kyocera and HP, and this list constantly grows, though slowly, so feedback regarding other devices is very welcomed. Apple maintains a comprehensive list of compatible devices, but please note, this list contains not only scanners and MFP, but pure printers as well. To use this backend, you don't need to install ScanGear from Canon, HPLIP from HP or some other proprietary software from hardware vendor. This backend works directly with your device and doesn't depend on a 3rd party closed source components. =2D-8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- I've tested it using the provided Debian 10 packages (personal repo hosted on software.opensuse.org) and it works. It's GPL2+ but I still have to check if there are really no blobs I'll try and make a Guix package, if I'll be able HTH!
