Install a Scanner in Elementary OS

Asked by Steve Greenwood

I have an HP Deskjet 4130e. Printing is fine in elementary OS7 but i can use the scanner.
Scanimage -L from the terminal prompt gives
Device escl:https://192.168.1.174:443 is a HP Deskjet 4100 series Platen,adf scanner.
lsusb at the terminal prompt gives all usb devices and identifies Deskjet 4100 series with a Bus number and a Device number.

Please can anyone assist me with actually installing the scanner driver into elementary OS

Thanks

Do this and repeat the first two commands, giving their
outputs.

> ii sane-airscan

This package is already installed so there should be an
airscan entry in 'scanimage -L'. Try again?

Can you scan with

  simple-scan "airscan:e0:HP DeskJet 4100 series [DB9302]"

or

  simple-scan "airscan:e1:HP DeskJet 4100 series [DB9302] (USB)"

Hi Brian
I had to install Simple-Scan and then the first command line worked.
I can scan via the feeder and the flatbed with this document scanner app.
However Libre office writer does not insert...media....from scanner...... a
document from the scanner.As no scanner is even suggested in a little box.
Is there a way to make libre office find this scanner?
Thanks for all you help so far.
Regards
Steve

Sorry, I cannot help with the LibreOffice issue as I
never use it. It seems to me that your basic problem
should be marked as solved.

Hi Brian
Thanks for your assistance with this issue.
I will contact Libre Office support regarding the Insert command for a scanned document.
