KopyShop is a simple KDE application to copy a sheet of paper. KopyShop project uses a scanner and a printer to do that. The main advantage of KopyShop is that your copy is nearly the same size as the original.

One Idea was that this task should easy for the end user. Technicly it uses the SANE and KPrinter to communicate with the devices. Additionaly it has the feature to save or load image files.

The input and output resolutions are adjustable, as well as the input and output device (last is done bei the KDE printer dialog)

Requirements:
Running KDE 3 (tested on gentoo, kde3.5).
sane-backends installed.
A configured and working SANE device and a output device supported by KPrinter.
For installing source: all things you need to compile a KDE application and SANE header files.

Limitations:
Warning! Don't start KopyShop when your scanning device is not ready, program will possibly wait endlessly.
Physical size of scanner must be nearly the same as the printer (usualy A4).
At the monent input and output resolution must be the same for best results.
File loading and saveing as well as printing operation with a loaded file are not well tested.
Some error/status messages are missing...
German translation didn't work.

What's New in This Release:
new GUI
new preview
ability to crop before print
center selected area on page
lots of bugfixes
use external libkscan instead of include into kopyshop
