<i>&gt; i am wondering if there is a simple way to copy something with scanner</i><br>
<i>&gt; and printer. It would be nice to have a copy button in sane or just a </i><br>
<i>&gt; simple new frontend.</i><br>
Adding such a function to an existing frontend shouldn't be hard.<br>
<p>
scanimage should do when used in a pipe like<br>
scanimage $* | ppmtops | lpr<br>
<p>
The x-based frontends could do the same by writing output to a pipe.<br>
<p>
Please note, that this will cause problems with 3-pass-scanners, as they<br>
will want to seek on the output-file to make a correct PPM.<br>
<p>
Another simple solution would be to have a configureable "commands-menu"<br>
which can be used to do different things on the output-file. I think of <br>
something along the lines of<br>
<p>
XView : xview %f - xview gets started when Menu-Item is selected<br>
Print : ppmtops %f | lpr - print the last scan<br>
ToGif : ppmtops %f &gt;%f.gif - convert to gif<br>
...<br>
