Canon Pixma TS5150- no WIFI-connection

Hello SANErs,


the Canon Pixma TS5150 is a pretty simple inkjet-machine, providing 
printing, copying and scanning (no FAX).

We are talking here just about the WIFI-connection (cable should work).

  * Canon, using a special protocol in the form of bnjp://IP.address,
    provdes a proprietary software /scangearmp2/, which is working, but
    is pretty rudimentary as well.
  * commercial software like /Vuescan/ is getting into contact
    immediately without any configuration
  * SANE - in its last versions - should be able to handle the
    bjnp-protocol as well, unfortunately doesn't in this case. You can
    make, what you want.


But there is a package /sane-airscan/, which does the job, making 
available Xsane, Skanlite and all of the other Opensource-frontends. 
Also without any further configuration.

So my question is: Shouldn't it be possible, to integrate - or, at  
least, to use its technology - /sane-airscan/ into SANE to make machines 
of that kind work directly out of the SANE-box?



Thanks for your work and time

Wolfram Heider
