Hi All,
Fedora 30
$ rpm -qa simple-scan simple-scan-3.32.2-2.fc30.x86_64
It looks like I lost my ability to print directly from Simple Scan. Is this a regression or am I missing something?

I see the same thing on F29 and thinking about it, it makes sense to me. It's a scanning program, leave the printing details to the pdf viewer. Generally, the scanner is part of a printer anyway, so if you want prints, then just use the copy function instead.

Thank you for the double check!
I prefer stand alone scanners.
The extra step is annoying, especially since I had the feature before

Interesting. They are not very common now.

I'm curious what the use case is for printing something that you just scanned? Is it for the purpose of making copies since you only have a stand alone scanner?

I scan and print my customer's checks so I can double check my paperwork if someone does not pay me and make sure it is not my mistake. It is a (ha ha) "paper trail".
I have a old Okidata B4350 printer (LED black and white) that just won't die. I virtually only use the printer for printing banking, tax forms, and invoices. There have only been a couple of times in 24 years of doing this that I wanted color. I have thought of an inkjet, but they make a bad impression on invoices as the ink smears under hot, sweaty hands. And I can always ask any of my customers if they mind me printing out a color photo. They are more than happy to help.

Most modern printers can act as a copier as well. Wouldn't that be simpler?

True.
Four draw backs:
1) I already have the equipment and it shows no sign of breaking
2) typical All-in-One's are tragic poor quality
3) ink jets smear and make a bad business impression
4) $$$ -- me no got!
