Continuing the printing tutorial, scanning is also pretty easy on both Ubuntu 18.04 and Trisquel 8.0. We use one preinstalled program called Simple Scan there. Again, with the same device Canon MP160 printer+scanner (100% compatible with GNU/Linux), this tutorial explains the steps to do. You don't need to install any additional driver on both system to scan with this scanner. Happy scanning!

Do you create data backup from your PC into many CD/DVD? Do you want to search and find in what CD is your data? Do you want to make a catalogue of your whole system? CDCat (Hyper CD Catalogue) is a solution for those purposes. It will be your Google for your data backups. I was used CDCat as a replacement for Windows Cathy program for 5 years and satisfied with it. To use CDCat, you should scan your data storage first then you can search. CDCat official website is http://cdcat.sourceforge.net/web/uk/index.html.
