Beckers Tue, 14 Apr 2009 21:23:40 +0000 http://charly4711.wordpress.com/?p=46#comment-396 Hi shipiboconibo, that should be even easier, because it would save you the step of converting from whatever image format you scan as to the raster format your printer understands (of course, my example with spl2 does not apply to everybody. People with native postscript printers might be far better off). To just store the files, all you would need to is edit your /opt/etc/scanbuttond/buttonpress.sh. You would replace the following lines: scanimage –device-name $2 –mode Binary –quick-format A4 \ –resolution 600 > $TMPFILE3 nice -n -10 /opt/lib/cups/filter/pbmtospl2 -P \ /opt/share/cups/model/samsung/ml2010de.ppd -p A4 $TMPFILE3 > $TMPFILE4 /sys/crfs/LPRng/lpr $TMPFILE4 Basically, you'd remove all but the first line and change the definition of TMPFILE3 (further up) to something more clever inside an existing folder on your DNS323 (e. g. /mnt/HD_a2/). To be able to do this several times and keep all your files, the easiest approach will probably be to incorporate the current timestamp into the file name. Cheers, Karl. Hi shipiboconibo,

I am curious, do you think it is possible to have something scanned from a printer directly and stored in a folder on the DNS-323? Great info!
