The information about supported (and not supported) scanners is contained in the *.desc files (e.g. doc/descriptions/mustek.desc). These files come with the sane-backends distribution. The current ones are in SANE CVS. Documentation of the format is in doc/descriptions.txt. The lists on the website are automatically generated from these lists by the tools/sane-desc program. It can also produce ASCI output. Maybe you can uses this output or modify that program to print the data you are interested in. Bye, Henning
