I have an HP OfficeJet 5710 All-In-One attached to my Xubuntu 16.04.2
home desktop that I've been using for over a year now. I use xsane for
the scanner software, but I'm not at all happy with it.  It forgets
half of its settings every time I switch from ADF to flatbed (mainly
resolultion and paper size), and it doesn't handle multi-page scans
well at all.  I have to scan each page individually because, for some
reason, the software can't seem to figure out when one page ends and
another begins.

Is there any really high quality, preferably free, Linux scanning
software for a multi-sheet-feeder scanner that can get every page as
it feeds through and not require baby-touch handling like xsane?

I'd rather not have to use the scanners at work, which do this just
fine, or be forced to use a Windows machine for the work. I have this
crazy expectation that there's something that works on Linux at least
as well as the cheapest non-free multipage scanning software that runs
on Windows.


Try gscan2pdf in the repositories. For document scanning its pretty hard to
beat.
