Scanner software recommendation - lintek - 05-08-2021

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

Is the included Simple Scan program insufficient?
