hello, was wondering about the usage of a scanner in krita ?
like Import photos from cameras and scanners with WIA ?
thanks!
Hello @yannosse and welcome to the forum!
No, Krita doesn’t have this interface, and it is very unlikely that something the like will be implemented into Krita, because Krita’s dedication is to be a software with which you create artworks from scratch, not from scanner.

You can scan with your scanner and open the resulting file in Krita. Chances are good your scanner is pretty good at creating files by the press of a button. No additional software needed. You probably can even configure your scanner to open the scanned file in Krita (even my 20 year old HP scanner could)

GIMP 2.10 had a plugin where you could use xsane to interface with the scanner for instance. You could use PyQt5 to interface with your scanner through python using a python library.
Sounds overly complicated but probably doable when the scanner has a public interface.
;)) thanks for your answer and the welcome to the forum !
hehehe thanks ! you are absolutely right !. will follow your advise, I must admit the interface of the scaner is also 20 years - ish something old and not very friendly user, that’s why coming from photoshop I was expecting a " FILE > IMPORT > WIA ". no problemo, again > thanks for the quick reply !
hello! > thanks for the suggestion . i must admit that i am not too much of a python user…
That’s why I included a link in my answer, ↑ because although Krita has most of the features of PS, there are some important differences. Krita was primarily developed with the aim of being a tool for painting, sketching, and good old-fashioned single-frame animation, and one thing it never wants to be or become is the 1001st poor copy of PS. And so, the original Krita will never have some features, but one or two features missing from PS can be added via plugins.

Only partially true. Way back in the late 90s, after a massive flame war of Motif vs Qt (and C vs C++), krita was decided to be caled KImageShop and be GIMP on Qt. It wasn’t until later it was reassigned task of painting. So maybe someday we will come full circle, back to krita being used like photoshop. 
On unix like systems such as GNU/Linux, one could interface with SANE, which would explain why GIMP had xsane plugin, which wasn’t available on microsoft windows. I don’t even know how much WIA, the one windows uses, even has a fully documented API. I don’t know if OP uses windows or not, but if not, it’s feasable.
That is why I did not call it KImageShop …
