Hey there,

i'd like to start a poll or request for comments to change the default scanning application for hplip. Currently for hplip the default would be xsane, and it also searches for kooka (which is deprecated and was replaced by skanlite IIRC) and for xscanimage, in that order. As in my opinion xsane is quite complicated and not user-friendly for scanning, i want to change the default to simple-scan, to improve the user experience. All the others are kept, maybe replacing kooka by skanlite, only simple-scan would then be first in search order.

This should be done first for cauldron. Debian/*buntu has already changed their defaults (seems logical as simple-scan was developed by an Ubuntu developer). For more information on simple-scan, you might have a look at https://launchpad.net/simple-scan or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanner_Access_Now_Easy#Simple_Scan

Please give your opinions.
