~~To enable~~ Apple ~~AirScan/Microsoft WSD "driverless" scanning~~, ~~use~~ the <tt>sane-airscan</tt> ~~drivers~~:

eSCL/Apple Airscan scanners should be found natively by the default escl backend. However, the <tt>sane-airscan</tt> third party backend is more actively maintained and you may have better luck using it:

hardware.sane.extraBackends = [ pkgs.sane-airscan ];

services.udev.packages = [ pkgs.sane-airscan ];

</syntaxhighlight>

It can be that your scanner is found twice (once by <tt>escl</tt> and once by <tt>airscan</tt>, in this case disable <tt>escl</tt>:

hardware.sane.disabledDefaultBackends = [ "escl" ];

</syntaxhighlight>

To detect Microsoft WSD "driverless" scanning, also use the <tt>sane-airscan</tt> backend.

If the scanner is connected by USB, also set the following option:

substitute the host name or IP address in:
