Hi !<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; I was just curious if anyone has a flatbed scanner configured to do</i><br>
<i>&gt; photocopies to a printer by default, perhaps remapping a button on the</i><br>
<i>&gt; scanner or connecting a switch to a spare pin on the parallel port to</i><br>
<i>&gt; trigger the actual 'copy' procedure.</i><br>
Should be a simple matter of a script, except for the "spare pin".<br>
I do not know, if some scanners have a programmable button (probably there<br>
are such things ...), but other sources could be used if it has none. <br>
A simple daemon could monitor the button and call scanimage plus some<br>
PBM-tools to do the copy.<br>
<p>
These lines are from a cgi-script I use to "remote-scan" (the scanner is<br>
connected to a headless server machine).<br>
<p>
POSTPROC=" | /usr/bin/pbm/pnmtops -width 8.3 -height 11.5 | lpr -Php"<br>
eval /usr/local/bin/scanimage $MODE --resolution $RES \<br>
-l $X1 -t $Y1 -x $XSIZE -y $YSIZE $POSTPROC<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; Also if anyone has information on getting HP's copy/print/scan OfficeJet</i><br>
<i>&gt; printer to work, this would be appreciated as well. </i><br>
Well - I suppose printing should be easy. They don't have used something<br>
other than HP-PCL, have they ? Copying possibly too ...<br>
<p>
<i>&gt; having heard that even the QuickCam was supported by sane. </i><br>
<i>&gt; Unfortunately since this isn't the case at the moment, I'm looking</i><br>
<i>&gt; for another solution.</i><br>
Try to get the docs from HP. The worst problem is probably the bi-directional<br>
protocol spoken on the lpt port ...<br>
<p>
