I have noted the recent questions Re: Scanning and would like to ask the
following...
I need to Scan and OCR a lot of material for the Journal I produce with
Scribus. I run Kubuntu 10.04 and have a Brother MFC 8860DN
Scanner/Printer. The unit scans well but I can no longer get it to OCR
correctly for inclusion in my publication. I use the Sane system but
when I set it to OCR I just get pages of "Gobblde-Gook" I used to get
'fair' OCR with Kubuntu 9.10. Anyone have any suggestions on settings
etc for this? I've tried various resolutions with no luck.
As a matter of interest the printer now will also no longer tumble the
pages for Double-Sided printing since I upgraded to 10.04! Do you think
this could all be due to a driver problem? I use the Ubuntu Drivers from
the Brother site.
Thanks Guys
