https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245540 --- Comment #4 from Henry Hu <henry.hu.sh@gmail.com> --- Strictly speaking, we don't: they provide mostly the same functionality (dr= iver for eSCL scanners). However, we don't restrict port collection to "only 1 p= ort for a feature", right? I tried to enable escl backend and it didnt' work, then I moved to this backend. However I noticed later that it's not installed by default. After rebuilding with AVAHI=3Don, it worked, although the airscan backend still h= ave some advantage over it: * It shows the device name, instead of IP, in device selection. * It defaults to 300dpi which makes more sense. * It shows geometry in a more reasonable unit (mm). These are minor points, so they aren't different fundamentally. So, if you say "we only want one backend, and that's the escl backend", then fine, please enable AVAHI by default, which may help other people as well, = as they don't need to research on why their scanners don't "just work". Otherw= ise, people may at least find this port and find it useful. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
