<div>Thanks for your thoughts. This has been solved by Kelly Price. Thanks, Kelly.</div>
<div>OCR showed up in the xsane menu options but onl;y offered gocr. Kelly showed me how to sort it, thanks. I know I can just scan the images and ocr them later, but there's the question of disk space if I undertake a large project.</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now, the scanner end has sat down. Hmmph! scanimage -L reports:</div>
<div>
<div><em>scanimage -L<br/>
device `hpaio:/net/hp_laserjet_mfp_m129-m134?ip=192.168.178.103&queue=false' is a Hewlett-Packard hp_laserjet_mfp_m129-m134 all-in-one<br/>
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname WebCam SC-13HDL11939N: WebCam S virtual device</em></div>
<div> </div>
<div>but when I start xsane, I get</div>
<div><em>"error - Failed to open device 'hpaio:/net/hp_laserjet_mfp_m129-134?ip=192.168.178.103&queue=false'.</em></div>
<div><em>Error during device I/O</em></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have been doing some heavy lifting on the system side of things (upgrading, compiling) so I reinstalled a slightly older known-to-work version, but the error remains. The printer is new and fine, the ip is correct, it pings and prints a test page :-o. I'll have to queue that to get done.</div>

Please do.<br/>
Your questions does not make sense. xsane (and other tools like<br/>
xscanimage) deals with _image_ acquisition. What happens after you get<br/>
the image(s) off the scanner is for the next tool in your processing<br/>
pipeline.<br/>

<br/>
Assuming things are you?<br/>
Instead of doing all this asking, why don't you simply download<br/>
gscan2pdf, try it out and see if it works for you?<br/>
FWIW, gscan2pdf is developed by an independent developer, not by the<br/>
SANE project.<br/>

I speak only for myself.<br/>
