Help with a wireless scanner

17

I was finally able to use my scanner today (and learnt some details about nixos and sane by the way) !!

First, I always thought I was using “airscan” driver with the configuration from the wiki

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

But I learnt that there is also a escl driver in sane-backends, and I was using it anyways … see this ticket

It seems that there is no way to manually choose the airscan driver over the escl driver …

I tried to explicitly disable it with:

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

And bingo, now my scanner uses the airscan driver :tada::tada::tada:

And luckily the airscan driver works properly with my printer/scanner :slight_smile:

Thanks @symphorien for your help on this :+1:
