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

Interesting.  I never noticed the scan option before.

So I gave it a try.

Linux Mint 19.3, LO 6.0.73, Xsane 0.999 (graphic front end to SANE), 
Brother MFC-L3750 CDW.

Slow-ish but let me scan.

Device (Brother) doesn't support a preview but LO faked it.  Set to 300 
DPI, is scanned and inserted the image.
