  • Cannot get scanner to work
    I have an HP Envy 6032 all-in-one printer/scanner which I cannot get to scan. Printing works just fine. I first tried using skanlite (from KDE), then the scanimage utility. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Printer-driver without scanning-functionality
    The printer I'm using has excellent printing-capabilities from within Linux, however it fails completely, when it comes to scanning. I have tried Skanlite and Gnomes Document Scanner, but none of them lists the printer as a scanning-device. Source: over 1 year ago
  • App should be in discover store, but isn't?
    I'm trying to download skanlite. According to the site it should be in the discover store, but doesn't seem to be. Is there somewhere else I can get it from? Source: over 1 year ago
  • I want printer that is compatible with Linux.
    I have a Brother DCP-L3550CDW and it works fine with Linux, I use KDE Plasma, so for scanning I use KDE's Skanlite and it works. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Skanlite – A Simple Image Scanning Tool for Linux
    The simplicity of the Skanlite Linux application makes it possible to effortlessly scan and save your raw images to flexibly usable digital format. By using flatbed scanners, you get more optimization in your image scanning routines. Source: almost 2 years ago
