[sane-devel] Epson ET-2711 ("ecotank")

[Paulo Silva]

hi!

it seems that the scanner from Epson ET-2711 (
https://www.epson.co.uk/products/printers/inkjet-printers/for-home/ecotank-et-2711
) is still not supported out of the box

i can't enter at sane's irc (totally forgot what is nickserv register
about and stuff like that...), so i'm answering here what
http://www.sane-project.org/mailing-lists.html asks:

"scanimage --version" says:
scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.31-debian; backend version 1.0.31

"lsb_release -a" says:
LSB Version:	core-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:printing-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch:security-11.1.0ubuntu2-noarch
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 20.10
Release:	20.10
Codename:	groovy

"lsusb | grep Epson" says:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 04b8:1143 Seiko Epson Corp.

so, i'm curious to know how soon is this scanner going to be
supported, and on what can we help for that...

thanks in advance,
Paulo
