My question is the same as

why is "saned" disabled on boot Ubuntu 12.04?

I am trying to get an old Samsung SCX-4100 to scan to LibreOffice on 14.04.

I am a novice; the solution in the greyed out section looks promising BUT how in Terminal do I:

look inside /etc/default/saned :

# Defaults for the saned initscript, from sane-utils
# Set to yes to start saned
RUN=no
# Set to the user saned should run as
RUN_AS_USER=saned

Set RUN=yes

I entered

# Defaults for the saned initscript, from sane-utils

into Terminal but it refuses to recognise it as a command.

TL;DR Thou shalt not start commands, but edit a file's contents.

To start saned automatically, follow the steps below:

  1. Open a terminal via Ctrl+Alt+T

  2. Open the file /etc/default/saned with

    sudo nano /etc/default/saned

  3. Replace the line

    RUN=no

    with

    RUN=yes

  4. Use Ctrl+O to save the file

  5. and Ctrl+X to close the editor

Or simply start the command

sudo perl -i -pe 's/RUN=no/RUN=yes/' /etc/default/saned

in a terminal
