Custom Port listener for Apple AirScan protocol

$

So after looking around on the web , I see much about AirPlay and AirPrint compatibility for Ubuntu but almost nothing about AirScan.

I have a custom app for scanning. I want to try to inegrate AirScan into, so a modern Apple OS might detect it as an AirScan compatible scanner.

As I understand it , I need to listen on port 8090 , and it must be advertised in Avahi

from http://testcluster.blogspot.com/2014...t-airscan.html
AirScan/eSCL devices advertise themselves over mDNS as _uscan._utcp. One of the fields in the TXT record is "pdl".

How do I create a listener to start at startup then how does one go about "routing" that listener and replying to it?

ALso there is the Avahi part in creating a custom app advertisement,. I suppose this is easy if you have worked witth Avahi.

I was wondering if anyone here had some pointers????
