ShareThisUntil earlier this morning I'd never used XSane. It's really easy to use and I'd recommend it. I was using a Dell Inspiron 6400 with Ubuntu 7.10 and a USB cable connected to my Hewlett-Packard 3100 PSC. Very straight forward process and easy to use. XSane can scan to JPEG, TIFF, Text, PDF, PNG and some other formats. It's easy to use and intuitive. I'd recommend to anyone using Ubuntu. I've got some pictures and documents I wanted to scan and this is the ticket. It has an OCR feature which I did not use.
