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. Original-Maintainer: Jörg Frings-Fürst

Version 46.0 came with Mint 22.2 full of bugs. Updated to 49.x Flat-Pak but it is worse - I'm back to the 46.0 . I've used it for many years and by far the most useful set of features I've seen in any (free) scanning software. I'm game to try v50.

I was bouncing between this app and Skanlite. The latter had more customizable features. Document Scanner (this version [system package]) allowed me to make multi-paged PDF. On my setup, it insists upon saving all scans as a PDF, not image files (png, jpeg), so I use GIMP to converter it. Meh, it's good enough.

A great example of a zero-configuration utility which just works out of the box!

Does what it should, works under LM 21.1 with a Canon-Scanner Lide 110 without (not available) driver from Canon. But I miss function in coloured documents to set background white. Now the white background comes bright-grey. For example in text-documents with coloured symbols.

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.
