Re: [libreoffice-users] inserting an image from a scanner ify

LO 32-bit or 64-bit DEB?  3.4.3? 3.4.4? or some other version?

What is the Printer/Scanner model you are using?  What is the the 
default scanner software you are using for Ubuntu?  Do you have XSane 
installed or just Sane?

I know that my Artisan Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax [network, wireless, 
and USB]does not have a working driver for the scanner so I can use it 
with Ubuntu [10.04 LTS], so I use my HP PSC-1410 [print-scan-copy - USB] 
as my Ubuntu Scanner.  I have it buried and will have to un-bury it to 
do a proper test for the scanning into LO.  But that will have to be 
later, since I have to leave for a meeting after I sent this email.

Any reason you do not scan in the image through XSane or other package, 
save it to a file, then import the file?  Or at least for now till we 
find out what is needed to get that option working correctly.
