Severely outdated, in need of a rewrite, also need some guidance

[mironsaid]

Hello, I would like to say that the library is severely outdated for today. If implementing this in android, we'll have to use OkHttp3.

I tried to modify the code and reimplement apache.http to okhttp3 but when I try to directly establish a session with the printer it does not work, even though the printer (EPSON L3251) supports TWAIN.

The dns library used also is outdated, there is a dangling library (mdns) in the build.gradle that is somehow unused. I removed it and it worked. But compiling this as an aar / jar to be used with android doesn't work.

I wonder, was this intended to directly speak to the printer or was it intended to be used with a bridge server?
