[sane-devel] Looking for network scanner connection information

[Andrew Goodbody]

I have an Epson SX-425W all-in-one connected over WiFi that I believe 
uses the epson2 backend. I have not looked at the code so can't really 
say that it would make a good reference apart from the fact that it 
works for me.
