I installed Paperwork from the App Center. It looks like a very useful program, however it does not see my scanner. I dug around on the Paperwork website and found this:
Install Flatpak and Saned
sudo apt install flatpak sane-utils
Enable Saned (required for scanning ; allow connection from the loopback only)
sudo sh -c “echo 127.0.0.1 >> /etc/sane.d/saned.conf”
sudo systemctl enable saned.socket
sudo systemctl start saned.socket
Install Paperwork (for the current user only)
flatpak --user install https://builder.openpaper.work/paperwork_master.flatpakref
Start Paperwork
flatpak run work.openpaper.Paperwork
I think the problem is that Enable Saned is not possible. The terminal commands do not create the directory and without the directory it is not possible to enable saned.socket.
Is it possible to get this working? As a work around one can use Simple Scan to create a document, import it into Paperwork and have it do the OCR and add tags for search and sorting.
