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.

I've used it for years and by far the most useful set of features I've seen in Mint. This version is very old and the developers are still quite active. Considering building my own, updated version.

It found my Wifi Brother HL2390DW and scanned pages just fine. Well done.

Definitiv der beste Scanner, den ich unter Linux kenne. Leider zwischenzeitlich nicht einsatzbereit und erst nach längerer Recherche wieder zum Laufen gebracht. Ansonsten wärmstens weiterzuempfehlen.

Excellent software. Unfortunately, mint provides a very old version that is not maintained any more (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/issues/279#note_1321876)

Simple and immediately able to scan. Wishlist: grayscale scanning - it's fast and makes smaller files for emailing.

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.
