On one end, yes. On the other end it talks the HPAIO "standard".
I was talking about the network protocol. Apparently his scanner is not
connected to a `saned` daemon (that would talk the SANE protocol) but
talks an HPAIO-specific protocol instead.
Discovery is hence not performed by SANE but by the `libsane-hpaio`
backend itself.
IOW he wants/needs to use `libsane-hpaio` on the client rather than on
the server.
