Hello,
is there a programm in the Sparky, which can managing a simply scan? I use a multi-functioning-printer, which was automatically detected by Sparky and printing is no problem. :)
For example I have seen that ubuntuusers using the programm sane. I would follow the recommendations of Sparky, if a simple solution is intended.
Thank you for each point
Here is a start, sane is mentioned.

Might be that you need to install a scanner driver that is Linux compatible. Check with the producer of your multifunctional.
Hi blaze,
thank you for your tip. :)
I have looked to that web-page, but it seems thats is almost too high for me... :-\ Think of it, I am a newbie... ::)
-I don't know, what I should downloaded from which source; And then, if it would downloaded, what goes on? -And so on? :'(
But on this way I analyzed the Sparky-facts:
1. The Sane-Backend already exists on the Sparky
2. I need a HP-driver, which doesn't supported by HP, but thankfully und luckily by the HPLIP-Projekt:
http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/about.html
But also this would not be an easy execise for me... :-[
But the best news is, that those drivers on Sparky already installed, too. :D
3. Only a Frontend must be still installed. For me is the "Simple Scan"-Frontend enough and so I typed at the LXTerminal:
sudo apt-get install simple-scan
And ready, there it was (Menu, Graphic,). ;D
But I must say, that really helpfull informations are not located on the Sparky-Wiki; I found this on the Ubuntu-Wiki. :-X
