I want to scan a file from terminal. What is the command for that? I also want to print the same file on a different printer, thus making a copier. I want to put it together into a shell script. I know how to make a script, but I need the commands.

Edit 1: the scanner is usb and the printer is LAN and setup with CUPS.

Edit 2: I want the script to scan and print the document.

I have computer with Ubuntu and Lubuntu. When I start the computer it shows the Lubuntu logo then goes to the Lubuntu login screen. I want it to start the computer showing the Ubuntu logo and going to the Ubuntu login screen.

I want to get a program to run Mac programs on Ubuntu 14.04. There is WINE for running Windows programs but I couldn't find a program to run Mac programs.

I want to be able to run Lubuntu 14.04 in non GUI mode. I also want an easy way to switch between the two modes.

I have a tarball, gimp-2.6.6.tar.bz2, and I extracted it to

/usr/local/src/gimp-2.6.6

then did

cd /usr/local/src/gimp-2.6.6

Next I did

./configure

It put all that stuff into terminal, but stopped at

checking for BABL:

and failed, saying it couldn't find BABL. A few sources said to do

sudo apt-get install libbabl-dev

so I did and it worked. However, it then got stuck on

checking for GEGL:

and failed again, saying it couldn't find GEGL. I tried

sudo apt-get install libgegl-dev

and it downloaded and installed it, but it still did not configure. So I tried

sudo apt-get install gegl*

but it still didn't configure. Any ideas?

Is there something you can type into terminal so that it will run a command if a certain program is running? For example, if <Libre office is running> then sudo pkill <Libre ofice>.

Edit 1: So what I want to do is make an if statement in terminal that runs if a program is running and if it is not it does nothing, or does something else.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and I need Gimp 2.6.6 for a class. I tried to get it by typing sudo apt-get install gimp=2.6.6-1ubuntu1 However, it said E: Version '2.6.6-1ubuntu1' for 'gimp' was not found Any ideas?
