I think that for scanners that have USB connections, sane-airscan supports driverless scanning over USB by using ipp-usb, which is also the component that allows driverless printing over USB. > E.g. privacy-concerned users not using GNOME and not wanting Avahi > enabled would consider it an unpleasant surprise that a system upgrade > would auto-enable Avahi. sane-airscan itself does depend on avahi-daemon but it recommends the ipp-usb package, which does depend on avahi-daemon, but it seems strange to me that ipp-usb would need avahi. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
