I have the HP DeskJet 2540 MF device here. Its DNS-SD record is:

----------
Found service 'Deskjet 2540 series [E7DDC7]' of type '_uscan._tcp' in domain 
'local' on 3.1.
Service data for service 'Deskjet 2540 series [E7DDC7]' of type '_uscan._tcp' in 
domain 'local' on 3.0:
	Host HP5CB901E7DDC7.local (192.168.223.1), port 8080, TXT data: ['duplex=F', 
'is=platen', 'cs=binary,color,grayscale', 'rs=/eSCL', 'representation=', 
'UUID=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-5cb901e7ddc7', 'note=', 
'adminurl=http://HP5CB901E7DDC7.local.', 'ty=HP Deskjet 2540 series', 
'pdl=application/octet-stream,application/pdf,image/jpeg', 'vers=2.0', 'txtvers=1']

Seems that it also supports eSCL, with JPEG and PDF as output format.
