CUPS also works without custom software for the hp printer, but I think cups is only for printing and not for scanning?

- oliwarner 2y agoIt is. This Brother scanner works (on Linux) via the airscan/eSCL protocol, ingested by SANE. Hopefully these sorts of driverless, protocol driven peripherals become widespread. And to think, it's only taken 50 years of consumer printing to start to get there.
