Driverless access to network-attached scanners via AirScan (eSCL) protocol, implementing spec quirks and ensuring broad device compatibility with an easy-to-use, feature-aware API.
[!WARNING] This repo was archived on 2026-05-24: Merged into the AnyScanKt monorepo on Codeberg (https://codeberg.org/Chrisimx/AnyScanKt)
This project is a easy-to-use Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP) library for using network-attached scanners supporting the eSCL/AirScan protocol. This protocol allows for driverless usage of network scanners and is supported by most modern scanning devices.
The implementation is based on the eSCL specification as provided on https://mopria.org/spec-download and on practical testing with actual network-attached scanners. The spec is very fuzzy in multiple places but the goal is to be compatible with most scanners and scanner features.
Almost all platforms (except jsBrowser) should be work, although the error handling differs.
Add the following in your dependencies:
dependencies {
implementation("io.github.chrisimx:esclkt:2.0.1")
}
Add the following in your pom.xml as dependency and replace platform with the platform for which you build:
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>io.github.chrisimx-{platform}</groupId>
<artifactId>esclkt</artifactId>
<version>2.0.1
...
Gradle is used as the build system. To compile the project, run the following command:
./gradlew build
