Description:

Simple Scan is an easy-to-use application, designed to let users connect their scanner and quickly have the image/document in an appropriate format.

Simple Scan is basically a frontend for SANE - which is the same backend as XSANE uses. This means that all existing scanners will work and the interface is well tested.

BazyTrue 1 year ago	5	I was even used printer which does not support Linux :) You just plug and it works!!! Check on web. Does not support HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One J410 Series , but it works!
Vasilis_K 1 year ago	5	Simple and plain as it should be. Doing its job just fine.
imperator 1 year ago	5	Ottimo
BernieLJ77 1 year ago	2	I can use my Canon MG3022 as a printer, and as a copier, but trying to use Simple Scan to scan something, well, it doesn't work, so I'm not a fan of it.

cmoi 2 years ago	5	Très simple à utiliser
nbk7 2 years ago	5	Simple (because it's easy to handle) and Great! The only scanning tool that works flawlessly with my epson multi-function printer! ! Love it!
juankvillegas 2 years ago	5	Very good and with the abillity to export a group of scanned documents as PDF.
Lettuce 2 years ago	5	Easy to scan and save single page or multi page as picture or PDF. Love it! Linux is "plug-and-play" with old Canon LiDE scanner that Windows is too proud to support. One more perfectly good peripheral saved from the scrap pile thanks to Linux.

cryssti 3 years ago	4	Simple but does the job. Work great with canoscan n650u. Very useful :)
LinuxLiam 3 years ago	3	Either it works or not. I usually try simplescan first but if it won't work with your scanner, then install xsane. It works with my "prehistoric" HP Scanjet 3970c
klrman 3 years ago	2	Unreliable and mostly crashed with Cannon LIDE110 Scanner. Worked once and no more. Very buggy.
zantaz 3 years ago	5	Handy useful on main scanner :

Amigo64 5 years ago	2	Only jpef
Moulder 5 years ago	3	I've been using it for a few months, and it's been working great, but all of a sudden it started crashing during scans.
Dmitry-perfekt 5 years ago	5	сканирует лучше родной утилиты samsung scx-4200
Craig100 5 years ago	3	Flaky, when it works it's good. But some update must have happened so that now it no longer detects my scanner in my Epson PX710W all in one. So now, I have no useable scanner, thanks :(
mydoghasworms 5 years ago	2	Too simple; does not offer enough options for customization. It is on the other end of the spectrum from XSANE.
norm1710 5 years ago	5	Does what it says on the tin
stevewood007 5 years ago	5	Works fine for my old scanner and LM15 Cinammon.
hnatyuk 5 years ago	5	work

quake0 6 years ago	5	works great.
slw_ 6 years ago	3	Well. It is little too simple.
RytronII 6 years ago	4	Basic but very dependable.
pjdyns01 6 years ago	5	You have to be clever to write software as simple to use as this. Just churns out photos and multi-page docs with no fuss at all. I returned to this after Maya KDE gave me Xsane. What a relief, just brilliant.
sonoma 6 years ago	2	can not get it to work with a samsung clx-3160 printer scanner. not recognized
fredericknoronha 6 years ago	5	Love it. Very easy to use, and quick to operate. I've been using it to OCR entire books.
shank21101985 6 years ago	5	does what it is supposed to do.
michelsaey 6 years ago	5	It does wath it suppose tot do. Very handy tool.
janfont 6 years ago	5	It's in the name: it is simple and it scans..
bart9h 6 years ago	5	Is it simple? Yes. Does it scan. Yes. Simple Scan!
BozoDel 7 years ago	3	Only scans at 300 dpi with my HP scanjet 2400, and crashes sometimes. But at least it works.
newpaul 7 years ago	4	The name says it all! You can make jpegs like fresh pancakes out of it. It's so simple that if your scanner is not connected on launch you'll have to restart it to operate. But it managed to resuscitate a scanner that had been disconnected for more than 10 years after being pronounced dead by an MS Windows system. For PDFs you'll have to look for gscan2pdf or xsane.
ali20 7 years ago	5	i like it
chassum 7 years ago	5	painless scanning with my wifi Photosmart Premium C410 :)
Inoki 7 years ago	5	Simple, does its job.

Germmare 7 years ago	2	TOP 1 for me: XSANE
dbfisher 7 years ago	5	Excellent little tool. works well with my HP Photosmart C5180 All In One. Simplicity itself.
bugz 7 years ago	5	Using that quite frequently. Ctrl-1 scans the page. Easy to crop/rotate and saves into PDF (multipage), JPG (w/compression), PNG (w/o compression)
Twix2247 7 years ago	2	doesn't detect all-in-ones. Epson NX415 for example. Used 'Image Scan! for Linux' instead.
linuxnpl 7 years ago	1	It could not work with HP Deskjet 1050 series
henrydubb 7 years ago	5	Nice program. But "all" existing scanners might be a stretch. It doesn't work with a recent HP all in one, but is accessible from web interface.
mf1960 7 years ago	5	Simple und gut, was will man mehr? ;)

grim 8 years ago	4	Very simple, and does the job!
Elisa 8 years ago	5	I like it but: what really sux me and warn this "feature" all users :) when I scanned a book, scanning many pages, suddenly instead of clicking on the button - scan (to continue to scan another page), I clicked the button just to the left - neighbour :O :-((( The button is - New document... and happened that all my scanned pages (and not saved) were in s... :-( It's good app but this 'feature' is not solved yet (like a warning about you wanna new page scan but didn't saved former ones)
