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

Just to throw more issues - LO 5.4.x still does not find my Canon 
printer's scanning service.

So, it could be the Scanner drivers for Ubuntu.  The "scangearmp2" 
package does not have all of the options as the "version 1" did. To 
bad.  Now I have to do all of the cropping, etc., via GIMP instead at 
the scanning level.
