Description Peter Åstrand cendio 2017-04-04 08:42:22 CEST 
This is the macOS part of bug 6207, and it is similar to bug 6217. macOS used to have Twain, but Apple discontinued the support of Twain for Mac OS X 10.9 (OS X Mavericks) or later. As I understand it, you should use Apple’s ImageKit instead. Some ideas:

1) Use scanimage. Implement the SANE API on top of ImageKit. 

2) Port scanimage to macOS/ImageKit.

3) Use some other tool. This seems to be a nice one:   http://blog.scottkleper.com/scanline-command-line-scanner-for-mac/

Solution 3) is probably the easiest one. However, that would mean that the scan options would not be the same between the Linux and macOS client.
