Hi Gary,
With of lots and lots of pictures I have to print, can you please,
tell/show me, how you do this. I'm not experienced with scripts.
Cheers,

I use digikam to control the camera and download the photo. Next I use
imagemagic (convert) to rotate and crop the image. Finally the lpr
command sends the output to the default print queue.
Not all cameras can be controlled by digikam but a lot can. This is
especially true of the higher-end cameras but even my lowly Canon
Powershot SX100 works. Since Santa's chair is always in the same place,
I simply have the camera on a tripod pointing at the chair. Then I send
the command to take and download the picture to a filename.
I use the same filename as input to convert to rotate and crop the image
then send the adjusted image to lpr.
I don't even need the gui for this.
I have the script on another computer but it's pretty simple. You
basically just need the three commands.
