Comments about NAPS2 as an Alternative to XSane
NAPS2 is not a SANE front-end, it supports only Windows scanning protocols (SANE and TWAIN), thus network scanners can't be connected.
Contrary to what Bruno Finger said, it works perfectly for me with my HP printer over WiFi. The interface is nice, much more comfortable and less buggy (or more predictable) than XSane
Much more intuitive, easier to use
