I'm looking for a straight forward scanning solution for use under gnome.
from control-line, scanimage included with sane scanimage --help Usage: scanimage [OPTION]... Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write PNM image data to standard output. -d, --device-name=DEVICE use a given scanner device (e.g. hp:/dev/scanner) --format=pnm|tiff file format of output file -i, --icc-profile=PROFILE include this ICC profile into TIFF file -L, --list-devices show available scanner devices -f, --formatted-device-list=FORMAT similar to -L, but the FORMAT of the output can be specified: %d (device name), %v (vendor), %m (model), %t (type), and %i (index number) -b, --batch[=FORMAT] working in batch mode, FORMAT is `out%d.pnm' or `out%d.tif' by default depending on --format --batch-start=# page number to start naming files with --batch-count=# how many pages to scan in batch mode --batch-increment=# increase number in filename by an amount of # --batch-double increment page number by two for 2sided originals being scanned in a single sided scanner --batch-prompt ask for pressing a key before scanning a page --accept-md5-only only accept authorization requests using md5 -p, --progress print progress messages -n, --dont-scan only set options, don't actually scan -T, --test test backend thoroughly -h, --help display this help message and exit -v, --verbose give even more status messages -B, --buffer-size change default input buffersize -V, --version print version information Options specific to device `epkowa:libusb:001:004': Scan Mode: --mode Binary|Gray|Color [Binary] Selects the scan mode (e.g., lineart, monochrome, or color). --depth 8|16 [inactive] Number of bits per sample, typical values are 1 for "line-art" and 8 for multibit scans. --halftoning None|Halftone A (Hard Tone)|Halftone B (Soft Tone)|Halftone C (Net Screen)|Dither A (4x4 Bayer)|Dither B (4x4 Spiral)|Dither C (4x4 Net Screen)|Dither D (8x4 Net Screen)|Text Enhanced Technology|Download pattern A|Download pattern B [None] Selects the halftone. --dropout None|Red|Green|Blue [None] Selects the dropout. --brightness -4..3 [0] Selects the brightness. --sharpness -2..2 [0] --gamma-correction Default|User defined (Gamma=1.0)|User defined (Gamma=1.8)|High density printing|Low density printing|High contrast printing [Default] Selects the gamma correction value from a list of pre-defined devices or the user defined table, which can be downloaded to the scanner --color-correction No Correction|User defined|Impact-dot printers|Thermal printers|Ink-jet printers|CRT monitors [CRT monitors] Sets the color correction table for the selected output device. --resolution 50..3200dpi [300] Sets the resolution of the scanned image. --threshold 0..255 [128] Select minimum-brightness to get a white point Advanced: --mirror[=(yes|no)] [no] Mirror the image. --speed[=(yes|no)] [no] Determines the speed at which the scan proceeds. --auto-area-segmentation[=(yes|no)] [no] --short-resolution[=(yes|no)] [no] Display short resolution list --zoom 50..200 [100] Defines the zoom factor the scanner will use --red-gamma-table 0..255,... [inactive] Gamma-correction table for the red band. --green-gamma-table 0..255,... [inactive] Gamma-correction table for the green band. --blue-gamma-table 0..255,... [inactive] Gamma-correction table for the blue band. --wait-for-button[=(yes|no)] [no] After sending the scan command, wait until the button on the scanner is pressed to actually start the scan process. --monitor-button[=(yes|no)] [no] Indicates whether a button on the scanner has been pressed (read-only option). Color correction coefficients: --cct-1 -2..2 [inactive] Controls red level --cct-2 -2..2 [inactive] Adds to red based on green level --cct-3 -2..2 [inactive] Adds to red based on blue level --cct-4 -2..2 [inactive] Adds to green based on red level --cct-5 -2..2 [inactive] Controls green level --cct-6 -2..2 [inactive] Adds to green based on blue level --cct-7 -2..2 [inactive] Adds to blue based on red level --cct-8 -2..2 [inactive] Adds to blue based on green level --cct-9 -2..2 [inactive] Control blue level Preview: --preview[=(yes|no)] [no] Request a preview-quality scan. --preview-speed[=(yes|no)] [no] Geometry: -l 0..215.9mm [0] Top-left x position of scan area. -t 0..297.18mm [0] Top-left y position of scan area. -x 0..215.9mm [215.9] Width of scan-area. -y 0..297.18mm [297.18] Height of scan-area. --quick-format CD|A5 portrait|A5 landscape|Letter|A4|Max [Max] Optional equipment: --source Flatbed|Transparency Unit [Flatbed] Selects the scan source (such as a document-feeder). --auto-eject[=(yes|no)] [inactive] Eject document after scanning --film-type Positive Film|Negative Film [inactive] --focus-position Focus on glass|Focus 2.5mm above glass [inactive] Sets the focus position to either the glass or 2.5mm above the glass --bay 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 [inactive] Select bay to scan --eject [inactive] Eject the sheet in the ADF --adf_mode Simplex|Duplex [inactive] Selects the ADF mode (simplex/duplex) Type ``scanimage --help -d DEVICE'' to get list of all options for DEVICE.
