[sane-devel] CanoScan N650U & Xubuntu

[Ralph Dumain]

Oops, I quoted the wrong post. Here we go again:

I've figured out to do some things, albeit crudely. The one thing I 
can't get done is OCR. It seems as if the OCR component of the program 
is blacked out. OCR is essential to my work. I can produce PDF files, it 
seems, which is a positive step. These PDF files are strictly image 
files, though, and not processed as actual text.
