Doing photocopy with linux

Christophe_35 · 02-07-2005, 05:38 AM

Hi,

I'm looking for a very simple software that allow to do photocopy with a linux system: basically, something with few buttons, one for BW/color, one for the number of photoopy and one for doing them. It will be used by a person that is not at all confident with computers, that why it have to be simple.

Thanks for any help,
Christophe

Do you have a scanner? If so, is it supported?
This is going to be an issue of whether the scanner/copier is supported or not, as opposed to a software problem at this stage.

Yes, the scanner is an epson perfection 1250 which is supported,. The printer is supporte also (Epson stylus 60).

Thanks for the links.
After some configuration, xsane can finally be pretty easy to use.

xsane and kooka both do a great job scanning - I much prefer xsane but it seems that the "official" program for kde is kooka.

xsane gives you the option of scanning directly to photocopy, which means it will send the scan directly to your printer.
