The following table summarizes the backends/drivers that have not yet been included in the SANE distribution, and the hardware or software they support.
This is only a summary! Please consult the author-supplied webpages for more detailed (and usually important) information concerning each backend.
There are special tables for parallel port and USB scanners from Jonathan Buzzard.
If you have new information or corrections, please send e-mail to sane-devel@mostang.com.
(For an explanation of the table, see the legend.)

- Backend:
- Name of the backend, with a link to more extensive and detailed information, if it exists, or the email address of the author or maintainer.
- Status:
- A vague indication of robustness and reliability.
- alpha means it must do something, but is not very well tested, probably has bugs, and may even crash your system, etc., etc.
- beta means it works pretty well, and looks stable and functional, but not bullet-proof.
- stable means someone is pulling your leg.
- Supported Devices:
- Which hardware the backend supports.
