When I had my Epson Artisan 810, I could not get the scanner part to work. Printer driver worked fine, but not the scanner. When Ubuntu 12.04LTS came out, there was an update to Xsane that "fixed the issue" since before upgrading to 12.04 the Xsane [or other scanner packages] did not work.

Kracked, I do _not_ have a problem with scanning to a file. Yes, XSANE does come up and lists both the video card for some reason and my scanner as options. That is an anomaly which started with Slack 14.0 (k3.2.29). However, unlike LO, when I select my scanner, XSANE does use the scanner,

Hi :) Yeh, i think we guessed that you used a scanner rather than a video-player. Don't worry! Many of us have difficulty remembering the names of whassnames compared to thingumybobs. Luckily double-clicking or typing in a bit of a description usually brings up the right tool. Errr, it's only W

Xsane sorry, not xine. Hi. I have scanned to file with xine and then used OCR to convert the image to text I can then edit in LO. Steve On 2014-07-24 06:30, Thomas Taylor wrote: Is it possible to scan an older printed document directly into LO? I have an old 2 page document that I want to repr

I just tried this for the first time on my Slackware Linux system and it does seem to be broken. (LO 3.6.7.2) I used Insert -> Picture -> Scan -> select source to verify it was using my Epson USB flatbed scanner. The problem with my version is that it defaults to the existing, but unconnecte

Is it possible to scan an older printed document directly into LO? I have an old 2 page document that I want to reproduce and modify with LO but don't find any entries in the menus for scanning directly into LO. This is in a Linux system and would probably use xine for the scanning. I suppose
