Maybe I didn't use enough of the more fancy kio-slaves, but I have a
hard time imagining how I'd be able to use this with say konqueror. I'd
go to
kscan://<scannername>/
And then see whats been scanned, but how do I initiate a scan? Do I need
to go to some special url? If so, how do I trigger the OCR creation
after scanning?
Note I'm assuming my scanner does not have any buttons for this stuff on
its own, which seems to still be a reasonable assumption even for
consumer-devices (as a quick browse of my favourite hardware dealer
shows).
