How to remove vuescan watermark9/21/2023 ![]() I answer a lot of posts in this forum to help others and I have noticed that HP printers and MFP printers and their stand-alone scanners, etc. I did install the HP Linux drivers HPLIP-3.19.1 which include the printer, fax, and scanning drivers and software and they work great as usual. I have an HP Officejet 4110 which is a very old MFP (multi-function printer) with vertical sheet-feed scanner and fax and although the printer does not work well any more and I do not have any ink for it, its fax and scanner still work well. The problem, I believe anyway, lies firmly at the door of the manufacturers and their reluctance to give the same support to Linux as Windows Notice that Microsoft don't issue figures on how many updates there are compared to sales, it may embarrass their HR department and give manufactures an idea of how many people are jumping the Microsoft ship. Since Win10 there's been a steady upsurge in the number of people sick to death of the forced updates and integrated apps. The problem, I believe anyway, lies firmly at the door of the manufacturers and their reluctance to give the same support to Linux as Windows, while still willing to take their money. Then again it just shows that it's possible to have good scanning software on Linux. Having emailed them about the watermark and as yet received no reply to confirm or deny, that's on hold. However there's been reviews that's said once the years updates are finished the the watermark returns. Portreve's idea seem to be one only solution, the other I've found is Q4OS and Kooka which I've installed on a very old laptop.Īs for Vuescan, $40 to remove the intrusive watermark which I wouldn't mind if it was permanently removed. Up until the later versions of Mint 18 and now Mint 19 there wasn't a problem, just happens that Cannon stopped support for that version and from then on it went down hill. I agree with phd21 in that Mint does quite well and my scanner does work with most of the software, in a fashion. This was just a general rant about how Sane seems to have been forgotten about. ![]() Nevertheless, I want the cleanest solution possible, and will go without rather than cut corners. I will have no truck with a proprietary file format, and besides, JPEG is garbage anyhow.ĭon't get me wrong: if I could know specifically what hardware to buy and that hardware could be had for a reasonable price, I would get that instead because it's really cumbersome to do it the other way. For example, scanning text and then performing OCR on the images after the fact.Īt this point, where graphic image files are concerned, I only use one of two formats: PNG and SVG. It is insane how much they are selling for today, and that coupled with lack of a clear-cut answer to which hardware I should buy has halted any purchasing decision on my part.Ī fallback option, I think, could be to get a relatively inexpensive all-in-one unit and use it exclusively in a stand-alone configuration, having it scan at the highest resolution possible to a flash drive, then taking the resultant image files and processing them separately. I had a few, many years ago, back when I was still professionally active in the print (i.e. I have thought about getting another flatbed scanner myself.
