Scanning from Canon MP495 to Libre Office
I have a Canon MP495 connected wirelesslly and it works well as a printer. If I use it to scan to Libre Office Impress (I use this program because unlike Powerpoint it allows direct scanning) I can do so using Windows WIA. If I try to use Canon's Scangear I can do a preview ok but it will not do a full scan. I then find that I cannot close Scangear. The only way to get it closed is to open Task Manager and close it from there. Scangear looks to be a versatile way of scanning with more options than the basic Windows WIA and I would like to use it. I also have an Epson and HP printers which allow direct wireless scanning with no trouble. Can anyone explain what is wrong here and how I might fix it?
