Hello Olaf, Thank you for your response. It is appreciated. I have emailed Alex (ABC) and he has responded -- thank you all.
If a developer wanted to entertain creating these scan drivers for the products mentioned, does anyone have a rough estimate or ballpark on what the bid would be? Or is this just something not worth pursuing? I ask because this customer is a large enterprise account. Please let me know or if there any alternative solutions you recommend. Thanks, Michael D.

For manufacturers we have a [dedicated web page][1] with information (somewhat dated, though) and there is also a general page with info on [contributing][2]. [1]: http://sane-project.org/manufacturers.html [2]: http://sane-project.org/contrib.html You may be pleased to know that the SANE Backends already include [support for a number of Xerox devices][3] via several backends. - `avision`, unmaintained :-( - `genesys`, maintained by Povilas Kanapickas - `xerox_mfp`, maintained by Alex Belkin [3]: http://sane-project.org/lists/sane-mfgs-cvs.html#Z-XEROX I've Cc:d both maintainers. Depending on which of the two maintained backends is closest to the devices' protocols you want to add, I suggest you contact it's maintainer. Cc:ing the mailing list is appreciated, so we all stay in the loop. All our code, merge requests and issues are available from https://gitlab.com/sane-project/backends You can clone the project, work on the changes you want to make, push them to GitLab and create a merge request to get them integrated. > Thanks, You're welcome.
