Actaully I did get it to work but it required a different approach
than I am used to in Gimp. First I established an image of the
correct dimensions and density in Krita. Then I ran the scan
capture. The scanned image became the base layer in the image
space previously reserved. 

In Gimp each scanned image automatically creates its own window.
This is of course simpler than what I describe above. 


But it does work, and that is the main thing. 

In Gimp most dialogues allow one a choice beteen inches,
millimetres or pixels. I can make myself a little conversion
chart for Krita at 300 dpi but IMO I shouldn't have to.

Now I have to learn all about the cmyk mode in Krita. That is the
glaring omission in Gimp.
