[sane-devel] [janitorial] New backend: escl

[Rolf Bensch]

Hi,

Congratulations for finishing this job.

Is there a (nearby complete) list of pixma scanners available, which are
supported by escl?

I would like to update pixma's doc files and include building escl when
a user selects only pixma at ./configure.

Many thanks.

Cheers,
Rolf
