Im sorry for the bafflingly stupid question. But the title says it all. I need to scan a document and save it to disk instead of printing it out (isn't that actually COPYING and NOT scanning??).

Please help and sorry for the really dumb question. I'm obvoiusly not a SuperUser ;-)

You need to use a software that is able to access your scanner. I personally use Photofiltre.

Click on the small blue scanner icon, scan your document and it will appear in Photofiltre. Then save it to disk!

@Ramy: you can use Gimp (gimp.org/unix). – gulbrandr Nov 20 '10 at 12:07
