README.Fedora
-------------
This file is meant as README for Fedora specific changes for sane-backends
package.
SANE daemon is moved to subpackage
----------------------------------
sane-backends daemon - saned - its manual page and systemd unit files are moved
into subpackage named sane-backends-daemon. It was done because daemon provides
access to scanning devices on remote server, which nowadays isn't common
usage of sane-backends, so it wasn't necessary to ship it with main package.
Several scanners need proprietary driver for working
----------------------------------------------------
Several scanners (e.g. Samsung, Brother, Epson) sometime need special backends,
whose isn't shipped with sane-backends or cannot be shipped in Fedora because of
licensing problem. If your scanner isn't working with basic sane-backends:
1) if your scanner is Epson, try to install iscan-firmware package or Image Scan from Epson official site
2) if your scanner is Samsung, try to find driver on https://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/selfservice/
3) if your scanner is Brother, see http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/download_scn.html
