[libreoffice-users] Re: LO not finding my scanner

[insomniacno1]

I have been posting in this thread regarding my tests and tries to slve this:
https://github.com/Ordissimo/scangearmp2/issues/35
  

To cut it short, either it is how Libreoffice interacts with the canon_pixma
driver or it is the driver itself causing this problem.

Yester day I dicovered that although the snap of newer version of
Libreoffice can be installed on 16.04 from snap store, it doesn't mean
everything is working - in this case the discovery of my canon scanner.
Removing the snap version and using the latest version available for 16.04,
Libreoffice 6.2.8.2 - I can now get the scan dialog, and it can scan -
somewhat - because there are still a problem.

So I uninstalled and removed all Libreoffice from my system, by purging
everything and downloaded older versions in App images to see if the problem
were identical in all versions: 

LibreOffice-3.6.7.2.help-x86_64.AppImage
LibreOffice-4.4.7.2.help-x86_64.AppImage
LibreOffice-5.4.7-x86_64.AppImage
LibreOffice-6.0.0-x86_64.AppImage
LibreOffice-6.0.1-x86_64.AppImage
LibreOffice-6.2.6-x86_64.AppImage
LibreOffice-6.2.7-x86_64.AppImage
LibreOffice-6.2.8-x86_64.AppImage

and even tried 

LibreOffice-6.4.7-x86_64.AppImage


I tested them all, and the common thing is that in the scan dialog(not
showing on newer than 6.4.7 Version 7.0 Fresh App image doesn't even open up
on 16.04, snap 7.1.2.2 work but not scan dialog after selecting source),
when selecting the area to scan by mouse is not kept, it jumps back to
default after 1 second(right: 90mm bottom: 54mm), only when setting this
manually will it keep -  that is until you either chose Generate preview or
select to Scan, in both cases it jumps back to default again. 

Setting everything up and selecting Scan, ends up in it jumping back to
default just before exiting the Scan dialog, and only scanning right: 90mm
bottom: 54mm.

Extremely frustrating not to mention annoying!

Hope this will get things going in solving this problem, maybe the Document
Foundation could talk with the author of the driver?

With kind regards

Jan

   I also can scan something into Writer without any problem. I use 
7.1.2.1 at the present time using Ubuntu 20.04. This is on a notebook.


   My printer is connected through a network which also includes a 
tower computer. I have notice that when scanning to the tower does not 
have the ability to produce a preview; the laptop has not problem doing 
this. Both use the same O/S version using the same CD to install it on 
both of them. It is likely some setting that differs between the two.

I'd never noticed that this option existed, so I thought I'd give it a try.

My old Epson V200 scanner was plugged into my Windows 10 box so I fired it up, 
Writer as well (LO 7.0.2.2).

It worked first go and scanned a page right into a new document.

An interesting discovery, thanks.

Could be a problem with certain scanners only, I only have the Canon Pixma
MG3070S to test with.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO not finding my scanner

[Roderick Anderson]

Interesting.  I never noticed the scan option before.

So I gave it a try.

Linux Mint 19.3, LO 6.0.73, Xsane 0.999 (graphic front end to SANE), 
Brother MFC-L3750 CDW.


Slow-ish but let me scan.

Device (Brother) doesn't support a preview but LO faked it.  Set to 300 
DPI, is scanned and inserted the image.

back to LibreOffice in hope that you guys here can figure out a solution.

Printer/All-in-one set up as network printer in my home, Canon Pixma MG3070S
work with their own tool Scangearmp2 and now SANE. I do not run it, and
don't want to, as USB scanner, only network.  I would like to be able to
scan directly in to LibreOffice Writer and other apps of the office pack.

There must be a setting or script somewhere, were this option has been
disabled or written wrong, ex. an # where its not suppose to be.

Hope you will look into this and come up with a solution. Thank you in
advance.

Solution to the SANE problem, where it can find USB Scanner but not network
Scanner:

1. Open Terminal/Console Shell emulator window
  
2. Download Canon MG3000 Scanner Linux Drivers

Here https://ph.canon/support/PIXMA%20MG3070__%20MG3070S__%20MG3077/model
  
Download Canon MG3070S Scanner Driver for Ubuntu Linux 32/64-bit.


3. Also grab Canon ScanGear MP .deb Driver.

4. Confirm to Open with Archive Manager on Browser
Or after Double-Click/Right-Click on Scanner Driver
(When Downloaded with Firefox may be located in /tmp/mozilla* Dir)
  
5. Extract into the /tmp directory
  
6. Now to Install Canon Scanner Driver


First, access the Target directory with:

cd /tmp/scangear*

And then Run the Installation Script:

sudo ./install.sh

Note: During installation You may be Asked to Connect & Power On your
Scanner…

Now if in the Output you find trace of some Missing Package then try first
to execute:

cd /tmp/scangear*/packages

sudo su -c "apt-get install gdebi"

sudo su -c "gdebi ./*.deb"

When finished, restart the laptop


7. Head over to
https://launchpad.net/~thierry-f/+archive/ubuntu/fork-michael-gruz and
install the ppa as described:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:thierry-f/fork-michael-gruz
sudo apt-get update

8. Go to /etc/sane.d/ and edit dll.conf as root. Under canon, add
canon_pixma and save the document and close the editor.

9. Open terminal and type sudo sane-find-scanner – it will not find the
scanner

9. In terminal type scanimage -L – scanner is now found and all SANE apps
work. LibreOffice do not work.

Hope this helps someone out there :)
