Are the elements of tupels of sane.get_devices correct "described"? #25

Hi there!

First of all, thanks for doing this, it's really great!

By using sane.get_devices() I get the device_name [OK], vendor [OK], Friendly-Name [instead of model?], machine type (exact model name) [OK].

As being not very good at the english language I maybe have the wrong idea about the use of the word model in this context.

Or should this element 'model' usually contain the exact scanner type/model? (I'm using a brother network scanner device. Model: MFC-J6520DW)

Thank you :smile_cat:

Typically vendor + model form the string you'd use to describe the scanner in i.e. a selection menu. It is however up to the scanner driver how it populates these fields. But MFC-J6520DW seems to me a fair value for model, so I'm not sure I understood your point correctly?
