Re: How to scan
"scan into Inkscape"?
Do you mean you have an image in your hands that you want to be able to open it in Inkscape? You would have to save it on your hard drive using a scanner (hardware). Then right-click and Open with Inkscape.
Or else maybe you're looking for Trace Bitmap, from the Path menu?
If I have missed your meaning, could you explain what you mean by "scan into Inkscape"?

Inkscape doesn't have TWAIN support, sorry. It has been requested though - https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/171843
