Title: Scanner software recommendation
Post by: lintek on May 07, 2021, 09:15:47 PM
Rather than me downloading some software and then fighting with it to work, maybe someone here can recommend a program that will work well with my Samsung Laser jet printer/scanner?

I had luck with GSCAN2PDF with LL 4.0 but not with 5.2.

I will probably upgrade to 5.4.  Any suggestions?  And if so, the best way to download it?

THANKS

There's a command
Code: [Select]
scanimage which is fairly easy to use. For more info
Code: [Select]
man scanimage and read here for a GUI https://opensource.com/article/18/9/linux-scanner-tools

@lintek ,


Is the included Simple Scan program insufficient?
