Could you tell us what platform, OS and SANE version you are using
(output of scanimage -V)?<br>
The TS5100 series machines have been supported for quite some time.<br>
<br>
Some newer machines use the bjnp protocol for USB connectivity but
use other protocols for WiFi. I don't know if this is the case for
your machine, but we do have this machine series supported for both
Wifi and USB with the pixma backend. So it should work. Perhaps you
can give us some more details as to what you see?<br>

That is up to the author or sane-airscan. IIRC, there was some
overture about some kind of integration but I don't know how far
that discussion went.<br>
We do have the sane-escl backend, which has some overlap with the
sane-airscan backend.<br>
