I use a program called simple-scan, it works great! I highly
recommend giving it a try. It is packaged and available through
Debian Main repo.
I've tried that before, and I didn't think it worked for my printer.
But, now that all else is working, I tried it again and saw I probably
wasn't using the menus properly. and it works! I was able to scan two-
sided from my ADF and save to my files system and print it two-sided. I
can do the same thing in color, too.
Now I can do it all.
Please excuse me, at 90 yo my patience is wearing thin with debian.
I had not tried it. It was installed already. it may be able to do all
that, my need for an ADF capable setup was solved yesterday but with may
page of waste paper, I was trying to do a double sided scan of a death
certificate. How to do that is totally hintless in its gui.
Shame on whoever removed the ADF handling from xsane. I wish I was back
on wheezy, everything Just worked. I've lost scanning with the adf, ALL
printer sharing, and it many cases the ability to control my high end
brother printers tray selections. thats very important when the top tray
carries $1.00 a sheet photo paper while the bottom tray carry's $9 a
ream copy paper.
This app may work well, but the menu's need help. And where is the close
button? I now have a workspace with its open gui I cannot close except
killall. That works.
Thank you Timothy!

I will also echo these thanks to Timothy. I would not have known about
simple-scans ability to handle an ADF w/o his mention. Much
appreciated, thank you sir!
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
