Only few drivers actually behave this way, and this is very unlikely, 
that you will ever meet them in real life. You may almost safely assume, 
that there are only two frame formats you will have to deal with: 
SANE_FRAME_GRAY and SANE_FRAME_RGB.

In SANE, every driver implements the entire API. To add a function, 
every driver needs to be modified. There is no common library.

 From another hand, if you need to feel Java image object with scanned 
image, most likely it accepts uncompressed RGB/Grayscale in a format, 
very similar to what SANE returns.

OK. Thank in advance.

BTW, it's hard to catch WiFi traffic between iPad and printer by 
wireshark, running on 3rd machine. Basically, all WiFi unicast traffic 
goes directly between two machines (through Access Point), and not 
broadcasted to other members of the same network.
