    A job of mine is scanning large ammonts of documents. How can I do this on Deepin? Its something that stops me switching 100%. The store only has Simple Scan, which I don't believe works for document fed scanners.

    I have the Brother ADS-2100 which has Linux support and has drivers (rpm or deb) found here: http://support.brother.com/g/b/d ... d=ads2100e_eu_as_cn

    Linux Scanning - from site you provided, download the deb file and doubleclick on it from the file browser, if all goes well, you will have driver installed. Install xsane if simple scan is not good for you. Open the deepin terminal and type in: sudo apt-get install xsane

    I've tried to get scanning on a few distros. I've actually had some success I'd be glad to share.
    1: Download drive .deb
    2: sudo dpkg -i --force-all  (scanner-drivername)
    3: lsusb | grep Brother
    4: Note Bus and Device
    5: sudo chmod a+w /dev/bus/usb/003/008  (Bus = 003 for me)
    6: Use a scanning GUI

    Hi, Skanlite is in the Deepin repositories but unfortunately its a kde app that pulls in way to many dependencies.
