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.

To be honest, I had never tried to use my scanning option with 5.4 or earlier.  I was just going through the different drop-down menus after I installed 6.0.0.3.

I see 6.0.1.x is online for download.  I will install it within a few days.

2 of my 3 laptops have both Windows 10 and Ubuntu Mate 16.04 installed.  The newest laptop is a Ubuntu Mate only box. Right now, the second oldest laptop is my default one and is the only one running 6.0.x.x.

I will look into the uses of the scanning options with one of those other laptops to see if it scanning works.

This appears not to be a Linux specific issue. I can't speak for macOS
users, but it is definitely a problem with LO 6.0.1.1 on all of my WIN 7
and Linux boxes, where I have zero scanning issues using LO 5.4 or other
office software.

Has anyone entered a bug report yet?

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.

And another datapoint:

I tried with LO 5.4.4.2 under LXDE on openSUSE Leap 42.3 with an Epson
Stylus Photo RX620 and got a 'Due to an unexpected error, LibreOffice
crashed.' (It's one of those annoyingly unhelpful error dialogs that
won't let you copy the text. GRR!)

After restarting LO, it scanned fine. I'll still prefer to use xsane.

Version: 6.0.0.3 (x64) Build ID:
64a0f66915f38c6217de274f0aa8e15618924765 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows

No issues with scan in either AOO or MS Office on the same machine.

Did you use the menu tree INSERT -> MEDIA -> SCAN?

I just installed 6.0.0.3 64-bit DEB for Ubuntu MATE 16.04LTS.

I was looking at some things and I went to
"Insert/Media/Scan/Select Source".  LO could not find my Canon
TS9020 printer/scanner. I even opened the printer's scan utility
and still LO could not find the scanner.

This is the first time I looked into using a scanner withing LO,
so I do not know if it is a 6.0.0 issue or 5.4.4 or earlier issue.

Any ideas?
