Mario Gazzari		 it Non funziona con CanoScan LiDE 100 ... peccato !

Ronald van Dijken		 nl Ik heb meerdere Canon Lide scanners (de 110, 200 en 220). Ze komen allemaal voor in de lijst van SANE (en werken in de Linux Ubuntu-achtigen dan ook 'out-of-the-box'). Ze werken echter niet in Chrome OS. Heel jammer. je kunt dan wel een scan met je camera maken, maar dat blijft ondermaats en toch behelpen. Zonder goed kunnen printen en scannen blijft Chrome OS een besturingssysteem 'voor erbij'. Met de mogelijkheid om te printen en te scannen had ik het als hoofd besturingssysteem kunnen gebruiken. EDIT: (een manier om toch je Canon of andere Sane compatibele scanner in je Chromebook werkend te krijgen) Activeer Linux op je Chromebook. Ga met Flatpack aan de slag en voer na elkaar in de Linux terminal de volgende commando's in: sudo apt update sudo apt install flatpak sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo sudo flatpak install flathub org.gnome.SimpleScan Daarna om te scannen naar PDF met een SANE compatibele scanner: start Linux op je Chromebook op verbind de scanner met een USB-kabeltje Je krijgt rechtsonder een pop-up te zien met 'verbind met Linux' en druk daarop. start Documentenscanner op in je Linux map in je menu.

egér Macska		 en Works amazing with my HP InkTank Wireless over wifi. One thing that I would like to see though is being able to change which scanner to use.

Trevor Bartram		 en Scan worked with our Canon LiDE110 scanner but needs a multi page option just like my Ubuntu SANE document scanner app!

Patrick Verlinden		 nl Geweldige app. De combinatie acer chromebook en Epson XP352 werkt perfect met één druk op de knop.

Hope Waffleson		 en This app is very good for scanning my schoolwork from home. It worked great as long as you don't have too many files in the "Scan" section.

John Blackledge		 en It was time for my once-yearly scan so I ran the HP Smart app (normal printing doesn't need it) and clicked the scan option. Now it wants to call home-base first? Since when? Ok, I logged on with my previous details, and 2 hours later it's still a spinning circle. - 2 times yesterday, and 2 times today! Some prat at the other end has obviously 'improved' the code on their server. 😤 But I can use a scan app on the Playstore: Scan: Offered by: François Beaufort Great little app - worked first tie.
