Re: [libreoffice-users] LO not finding my scanner

Yes, I tried Insert > Media > Select Source.  It does not show my 
print/scan/copy - Canon TS9020.

Canon's Linux driver for scanning does not work with xsane.  They call 
their interface "scangearmp2".  This has hardly and options compared to 
"scangearmp" which was use for the previous printer/scanners I have had 
[all dead now].

Yes, I have 64-bit Ubuntu Mate, LibreOffice, and Canon drivers.


--------------------------------------------

On a side note:

This is the first Canon printer that I bought that has Linux drivers in 
their USA web site.  I always had to go to the UK site to get the 
drivers. At least Canon is starting to get the picture that a lot of 
people in the USA are Linux users.
