+====== Xsane as a photocopier ======
+[[http://xsane.org|Xsane]] needs a little bit of preference configuration to get it working as a photocopier.
+Here is my set-up:
+  * Ubuntu 9.10 with default Xsane install (0.996)
+  * CanoScan N650u (scanner)
+  * HP LaserJet 1200 (printer)
+First, you need to know the name of your printer on your system. Run this command in a terminal to get it:
+  lpstat -a
+which, on my set up, gives me:
+  HP-LaserJet-1200-2 acceptant des requêtes depuis ven 25 jun 2010 13:32:29 CEST
+Then, in the menu Xsane > Preferences > Configuration (shortcut: [alt]-s ), under the "Copy" tab, give a name to your printer (any name is fine) and as a command, write this:
+  lpr -P the_name_of_your_printer_on_your_system
+As an example, on my system, I had to write this:
+  lpr -P HP-LaserJet-1200-2
+This should be sufficient to get it working.
+Although, I also needed to deactivate the "create zlib compressed postscript image for printing" to get it working. But maybe you don't :-)
