how do I scan a document on my hp deskjet 2430 using ubuntu 12.04?

Question

I have already downloaded hplip and I got it to work once before, but I don't remember where to go to select graphics, scan, photo. I can't find the menu to access. where is it?

Answer 1

Press the Super key. This will most probably be the Windows key on keyboard.

This will open up Dash.

Here type Scan, and will be able to see a program called Simple Scan.
