A simple Chrome App to scan your paper documents directly from your Chromebook thanks to the open-source project SANE.

Be aware that only SANE-compatible Scanners will work out of the box for now since Lorgnette relies on the open-source project SANE ("Scanner Access Now Easy"). Therefore make sure your document scanner is in the list before.

R N 2023-11-29: Great simple app!! Works well. It's nice that you don't have to set anything up.
Zaenal Abidin 2023-06-24: The app work well and I use printer HP DESKJET 2700 SERIES
egér Macska 2022-04-23: Works amazing with my HP InkTank Wireless over wifi. One thing that I would like to see though is being able to change which scanner to use.
c chrome 2021-09-23: worked with epson 2760 wifi, had tried many things and only scan worked. puts files in sub-folder 'scan' in downloads (note: need to open download folder to see it)
Trevor Bartram 2021-09-07: Scan worked with our Canon LiDE110 scanner but needs a multi page option just like my Ubuntu SANE document scanner app!
Hope Waffleson 2021-06-18: This app is very good for scanning my schoolwork from home. It worked great as long as you don't have too many files in the "Scan" section.
John Blackledge 2021-05-17: It was time for my once-yearly scan so I ran the HP Smart app (normal printing doesn't need it) and clicked the scan option. Now it wants to call home-base first? Since when? Ok, I logged on with my previous details, and 2 hours later it's still a spinning circle. - 2 times yesterday, and 2 times today! Some prat at the other end has obviously 'improved' the code on their server. 😤 But I can use a scan app on the Playstore: Scan: Offered by: François Beaufort Great little app - worked first tie.
Frederick Heineman 2021-04-12: Works great. I've been a Chromebook user for years but was always annoyed at having to boot my PC to scan from my Epson ET-2550. This app was simple to use, intuitive and works seamlessly. I was somewhat surprised to see the rather low overall rating.
Spear Technical Services 2021-03-03: Useless. Yet another app that promises that a USB scanner will work on a Chromebook, and like the others, it never delivers.
Peter Heald 2021-02-23: It's tough to find a scanning app for Chromebooks that doesn't require all sorts of messing with your network (at the very least) but the SANE (appropriately named) open-source project seems to be aiming to fix that. My printer wasn't listed on their site (http://www.sane-project.org/) as one that has been tested, only as one that should work as it's similar to others in the same family (Canon G-series Pixma). I installed the app, hit scan, and poof - the png appeared in the new Scan folder. Certainly no bells and whistles, nothing to configure... but if all you want is to hit a button and get your file... it does the job.
Mario Martinez 2021-02-11: Does exactly what it says, a simple scan. You get a pop up to name the document and then off it goes and scan from my older Canon MG7500 wirelessly. I was thinking it might be time to replace my all in one with something built to be compatible with Chromebooks, but this little app bridges the gap. I have been using the Canon mobile app so that is still an option if I want more features, but for a quick simple scan this did the job.
Alayjiah Alcide 2021-02-07: Did absolutely nothing. When I pinned the icon and pressed on it, it didn't do anything. It sucks, I was really looking forward to using it.
Kevin Carpenter 2021-01-24: Unfortunately, my all-in-one from Brother is not recognized by the app. I am able to print to my all-in-one using USB, but my device must not be SANE compatible(?) Maybe it is inSANE. Ha!
ger R 2020-12-19: It works, but unfortunately no settings for scan color or file type.
Maples Marten 2020-12-09: Great extension, easy to install and use. Worked well without any additional configuration.
Mellow Flello 2020-11-01: Worked for me with my Epson Workforce WiFi Printer/Scanner. I tried 3 Epson apps but none of them worked. This simple app downloaded quickly and worked straight away. The app is very simple so don't expect any settings etc. Click on the Scan app. A small window opens up where you can enter a file name. Then click scan and away it goes. The scanned file was saved in a folder called "scan".
Aaron Moore 2020-09-28: I downloaded the app and as I later read it is only for SANE printers. I often get the Brother All-in-One fax and scanners but this app did not work with the machine (DCP-L2550DW). They did not lie but if you do not read all before you download you will have a useless app.
Makayla Situ 2020-09-10: Terrible, can't even scan a document. Says no scanner.
Dumitru Mocanu 2020-09-10: wrong
L Moore 2020-08-31: It's working again! I started using this app years ago--worked fine for a long time. A year ago give or take it stopped working. Through quite a few CrOS updates it remained broken--couldn't find scanner. I'd try it again after each update, then only tried sporadically. But now with the recent update (to the app) it's working again with the latest CrOS (84) update. Hope it keeps working (till Google pulls all Chrome apps from the store anyway). Thanks for the fix.
Stephen Burwinkel II 2020-04-13: I installed this on my Lenovo Chromebook and the app doesn't even open.
Andy Jones 2020-04-09: Doesn't work with Epson SX235W
john young 2020-04-02: App won't launch.
Johnathon Cains 2020-03-24: Doesn't even open, dissapointing really.
Christine Mwale 2020-02-07: I do not really know how to use it. I have connected to my HP scanner but it is not scanning
Armando Albarracin 2019-07-06: Doesn't work
nanna takru 2019-04-25: doesn work
Meriicistyle 2018-11-17: Thanks for making a not working app.
Danielle Van Boxel 2018-09-17: Not compatible with my SANE-capable scanner (works fine with SANE under Ubuntu). Description should be updated to reflect compatibility with only some SANE-safe devices.
Karen Marie Lorenzo 2018-08-07: it doesnt do anything. It wont scan
Kirke Campbell 2018-06-28: Great idea but "Scanner not available" with my Canon Pixima MX726. No response at the printer either. The Android version of Canon Print does work well, but it would be helpful to scan from my Chromebox. Thanks for the possibility.
Nigel Alberto Farina 2018-06-15: Simply does not work at all, at least with my HP C4280 all-in-one printer & scanner. This needs improvements.
Christian Gøllner Kolsrud 2018-06-13: Lot of problems. Scanner not avaliable all the time.
virginia wakefield 2018-06-07: DIdn't work. That's all.
R 2018-05-24: Canonscan LIDE 200 ON Acer Notebook not working. No power to scanner.
Anonymous 2018-05-04: not working on Asus C302...
Cosmo Lee 2018-03-18: Very basic, but worked for me in a crunch. It only worked from my flatbed - not the page feeder. Once you scan the file it doesn't tell you where it saves it. On my Chromebook I opened the Files app, then looked in the "scan" folder.
Maria Eduarda Caldas 2018-01-22: There's no instructions
Martin Parnham 2018-01-08: Seems to work fine on my ASUS Chromebook with Epson Expression Home XP-322. Digs me out of a hole really as my printer isn't compatible with Scan to Cloud!
Stan Taylor 2017-12-28: Very rudimentary, but does what it says with my SANE-compatible flatbed scanner.
Tom Staels 2017-10-31: doesn't even open.
Jan Peter Mulder 2017-10-28: Fantastic! It was realy PlugAndPlay for my Canon LIDE 110 scanner.
Anonymous 2017-10-08: Doesn't work with the 1x500
Michael Fawcett 2017-09-19: Functional. Plugged in my Canon LiDE 220 and off it went. No problem. Would be nice to chose the folder it scans to.
Adam Barnett 2017-09-10: When it works it's great. But when it doesn't, which is often, it sucks. The scan file should show up in the files app but at least fifty percent of the time doesn't, despite the fact that the scan app tells you it has indeed finished scanning and saving a document.
Louis Bouland 2017-08-28: Doesnt support any other printer or scanner not from google cloud.
David Glover 2017-08-01: After carefully selecting an all in one that promised to jump through all the chromebook hoops, I was a mite miffed when it turned out that my wifi printer Epson XP 345 had no wifi scanning capabilities what so ever and was ready to box up and return...... .....But found this wee app and after a 20 sec down load and 15 min hunt for the USB flex was scanning away happily. Merci Francois
Oaklea Kearney 2017-07-27: No way to find or select a printer/scanner to use. UI is trash.
Tim Poisson 2017-07-26: Does not recognize printer/scanner. Needs work.Using chromebook w/USB to Printer/scanner
John Marcolina 2017-07-14: App doesn't start for me.
