Assuming you have the scanner drivers for your linux computer,
if you open a blank Writer document, then
INSERT -> PICTURE -> SCAN -> REQUEST

This works for me with a windows box.

But will that be editable, like an ordinary odt document?

I have never been able to do so, as the import is a photo.

Your question makes me think that maybe you are seeking an OCR scan, to
import text. Is this your question? If so it was not explicitly stated in your
original post.  If you are seeking an OCR import, then someone else will
have to answer you as I have no experience with anything like this.
