Canon Canoscan 8800f works fine with xsane. When I was shopping for a scanner, I used the SANE list to find a compatible scanner: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-mfgs.html Lincoln On Thu, 2017-12-21 at 19:42 +, jeffrey black wrote: > I am using GnuCash (Windoze version) to track multiple

I use an app named "Scanner Pro" on my iPhone to capture documents/receipts while out of the office.  Images automatically upload to my iCloud storage or I can mail them to myself.  Access to files on iCloud from the Linux box in the office is done via the iCloud web portal.  Works fine, but

I use the flatbed scanner on a Samsung SCX3405FW combined with the XSANE Image Scanning Program to scan receipts with output as jpg without any major difficulties on Linux. As others have noted at present there is no way to link these into Gnucash at the moment. Main reason is to store receipts

Aaron, I think it’s just a file URI link. The scans themselves have to be stored on their own in the file system. They images/pdf et cetera aren’t stored in the db. (the default XML I don’t think could handle that anyway) There shouldn’t be any memory issues in that respect. I was using the
