I didn't pay attention to the fact that the discussion had gone private.

Wolfram,

To include them in the sane documentation, we need user feedback.
I've added the doc for the list of devices that have been reported to me 
(http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html, in the slave section), 
for the others I've added this link: 
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201311
Lastly, for escl, which is not present in dll.conf, it's a choice made 
by the Maintair of your distribution.

Cheers

Thierry
