I remember in older versions of Fedora, scanning via SANE with KDE was very easy, there was a dedicated SANE frontend, right now there seems to be none. If either of you maintainers have the available cycles, please take a look at Skanlite[1] it's the KDE4 SANE frontend listed on the SANE website. I'll be checking as to if there is something better for this task.

The skanlite package is waiting for cvs creation. It'll enter rawhide and F10/F11-Testing sometime this week.

Thanks for the info, I'll be happy to test it out on my rawhide box once available.

skanlite is built know. It should show up in rawhide and in updates- testing for F-10 and F-11 after the next respective pushes.
Anyone who wants to test it, can also get the package directly from koji:

For those folks still on F9, here's a scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1448251 (The scratch build will expire in 2 weeks, but that's OK because F9 will be EOL before that.)
Please note that people still on F9 are expected to upgrade to a newer release AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

Please leave feedback in bohdi if you've tested it:
I did a quick test on my HP Photosmart C5180. It works fine, except there are very few options compared to what appears in the help document (BTW, at least it *has* a help doc, so kudos for that), i.e. no bit-depth, image intensity, gamma correction etc. Since I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, I've refrained from posting to Bodhi for the moment. Maybe it's limitation of the device, or of the SANE driver. Xsane complains about a missing ICM profile so maybe that's related.

Your scanner is not (yet) supported by SANE. See this link: http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-mfgs-cvs.html#Z-HEWLETT-PACKARD
Your device uses a HP backend, if i am correct.

Yes, that's right. Note that it actually does work for my purposes, but obviously wouldn't suit everyone. In fact the hplip package provided by HP just calls Xsane for scanning.

Those options are provided (or not) by the driver. Skanlite doesn't do any postprocessing (neither does Xsane for that matter) so it only offers the options the driver offers. Unfortunately, HPLIP seems to have a GNOME-style "set reasonable defaults and don't let users change anything" design philosophy. :-(

No, ICM profiles are optional and AFAIK Skanlite doesn't support them at all.

Skanlite looks nice, though I just wanted to clarify here that xsane is there, and works very well (though some operations take too many steps).
Your statement could be parsed as 'there is no SANE GUI' or 'there is no KDE SANE GUI'.

I tried XSane, and I definitely don't remember using it before. Also... it isn't exactly the model of "ease of use" in my initial experience with it.
