> Each print has to be manually scanned in
Seems like it would be easier long-term to just keep a copy of what the browser sends to your server, then display that instead of the scanned print itself.
Even if you generate the printer bytestream in the browser and just `cat` whatever comes in to your printer device, it would probably be faster (again, long-term) to write software which can render that data stream to an image.
but as an art project, it's perfect. is the source code anywhere?
