Same printer fails on Debian but works on Arch Linux

[makew0rld]

Here is the error output on Debian:

Both zeroconf and lxml are installed. The same command works completely fine on an Arch Linux machine.

The solution was to install avahi-daemon on the Debian machine, which will scan, find, and resolve those .local hostnames. Maybe you can add this as a dependency to the README?

I believe this fixes #1, @chriscamacho 's issue.

Yes, you do need a complete zeroconf setup; missing the resolver breaks the hostnames.

This project will be archived, because escl support has now been added to SANE Backends 1.0.29 released last month.
