Sorry, that's wrong.
In my previous postings I was regarding a connection via USB cable. For
that case the sane-backend epsonds does not work, but the epsonscan2
backend from Epson, although epsonscan2 fails for network scanning.
The Epson ET2711 can be connected via USB cable and WiFi. In the latter
case the ET2711 has an IP and therefore can be directly addressed by the
client, who wants to scan.
You have to enable the sane net backend and the client automatically
recognizes the ET2711 via the escl protocol (the package sane-airscan
must be installed and enabled). Now the ET2711 is listed by 'scanimage
-L'; 'scanimage -T', simple-scan and xsane work flawlessly.
So long story short: local scanning via USB works with epsonscan2, but
not with epsonds backend, networking scanning does not work with both
backends. Scanning via WiFi connection works okay.
