My Epson XP-322 wouldn't communicate with Scandal so I wrote a program like this :)

Great!
Can we test that?

give me a few days to refine the gui :)

Congrats! Something like that is planned for MorphOS 3.22 in fact but optional choices are always nice to have ;)

The alpha test version is available here: LINK
The Prescan is automatically saved in RAM, and you can then save the scan to a specified location as a JPG or PDF. For now, it scans and saves the entire canvas, and only in color.
I hope it will also work on a machine other than my Epson, so let me know.

How can I download the archive?
Where do I have to click?
I can only expand the description

Thx, now it works!

Does it only work with an Epson?
I have a Canon MX510 and I get a requester saying:
Couldn't connect to server! (7)
File: airscanner.hws (current line: 320 - in function: perform)

I hope scanning will work too... What scanner model do you have?

Its an old multifunction printer/scanner/fax thing

This is a program that uses the eSCL (airScan) protocol. It only works with scanners that support eSCL.

I tried it and it doesn't work on my Canon MF753cdw, get HTTP 404 error. Suppose to support airscan.

@igracki, @matt3

The test version works on port 413 (https), because that's what my Epson required. It's possible that the Canon uses regular http (port 80). I'll prepare a version with port selection today.

edit: One more thing: the program doesn't currently detect the scanner's IP address. You need to determine it, for example, in a phone app like Net Scan or a printing/scanning application, and then enter it in the program window. After clicking "Scan," the address is saved in the configuration file and read from it upon restarting the program. However, if the scanner is assigned a dynamic address, you must check this address before each use and, if necessary, correct it in the Scanner IP field.

I tried on my HP Color LJpro MFP3302sdwg by setting the correct IP but I only get some requester

Gemini claims that "The Canon PIXMA MX510 printer is not directly compatible with the eSCL protocol (also known as AirScan or "driverless scanning")."
I spent a few hours today with the Canon Pixma MX925 and unfortunately failed. Later, I asked Gemini and they said it's unfortunately not compatible either, and its network scanning features rely on older, proprietary Canon solutions.

Quote:

Have you checked if the escl/airscan service is enabled? Your hardware is compatible, but it's possible you don't have the service enabled. Error 404 means the program connected to the scanner but can't find the /eSCL/ScanJobs directory. So it's not a port issue. In any case, I'll upload a hardware test version this evening.

edit:

I've updated the archive at the same link. I've added the ability to select the connection type (http/https) as well as grayscale and black and white. It's also possible to crop the scan by dragging the bottom and right edges of the rectangle.

I know that these improvements (aside from http) don't help anyone who can't connect to the scanner, so I'm considering a diagnostic program that would check the availability of the eSCL service in the scanner and help me increase the versatility of airScanner. I intended to include this tool in this program, but I've messed up the code terribly, so I'm going back to the version that works with the Epson XP322. For increased compatibility, I've only added an unencrypted connection as an option.

Yeah, I also googled and found out that my printer doesn't support AirScan but it supports AirPrint.

Works fine with EPSON ET L3160 (series) :)

Unfortunately not yet compatible with eSCL 2.9 devices

using Scanner Capabilities you could examine if your scanner supports escl and what version of this protocol is implemented

[ Edited by tomasz 13.04.2026 - 17:27 ]

Great!

I've released a new version for testing. In Prescan mode, it should work with new HP scanners. Perhaps with Canon as well? The archive is at the same link.

AirScanner for MorphOS

The scanner must support the Airscan protocol (eSCL)

Hi,

Nice progress in the UI! The program now detects my HP Color LJ Pro MFP 3302 properly but it indeed still fails when I try to scan

"Failure when receiving data from the peer! (56)
File: AirScanner4.hws [current line: 589 - In function: perform}

though (and completely quits the program then)

On a positive note, it indeed starts to get data with PreScan and it gets displayed in the preview area, albeit not from the single sheet feeder.

Definitely progress, great !

Just tested it with my Canon G6050: works great! Thanks!! :)
