# This is much slower than a real copier, is very processor-bound,
# and will take around 20MB per page in the print spool, so make sure
# /var/spool has plenty of disk space.
#
# pnmtops will downscale the image to fit the printed page if original
# width and height are too big.  Unfortunately, I haven't found a way
# to tell it to print exactly what the original looks like, so the output
# size will be a bit off from input size.  This makes the resolution
# setting less useful than it could be.  Also, the RLE compression that
# pnmtops uses doesn't do very well at compressing scanned images (to
# take up less space in the print spool), but it's better than nothing.
