Sorry, but you cannot set any defaults in epkowa.conf beyond what is documented in that file itself. So, the only thing you can default is setting the document source to prefer the ADF. I believe your BX305F has one. > Thanks a lot for any hint ! Maybe you can make LibreOffice remember a bunch of defaults? Another option is writing a little shell script wrapper (or define a shell alias) around scanimage that sets your prefered defaults.
