After executing the scripts, I then added a Launcher item into my Panel to open the Document Scanner application (simple-scan) in my named disposable sys-print qube with the Launcher item set to execute this command: After executing the scripts, I then added a Launcher item into the Panel to open the Document Scanner application (simple-scan) in the named disposable sys-print qube with the Launcher item set to execute this command:
And another Launcher item set to shutdown the sys-print qube: Even though the Qui-domains widget in the Panel has options to open a file manager, run a terminal command, and shutdown qubes, I prefer having a set of Launcher items for my named disposable sys-* qubes. Launcher item to shutdown the sys-print qube:
Launcher item to open the file manager application (Nautilus) in the sys-print qube: >```qvm-run -q -a --service -- sys-print qubes.StartApp+org.gnome.Nautilus``` Launcher item to open the terminal application (XTerm) in the sys-print qube: >```qvm-run -q -a --service -- sys-print qubes.StartApp+debian-xterm```
* Right-click (secondary-click) a file in any qube, select the "View In DisposableVM" option to open the file in a disposable qube, and then print the file using ```Ctrl+P```. * Scan documents in a disposable qube, transfer the files to another qube, and then close the window so that the qube is automatically shutdown and deleted. This is quick and convenient, but the transferred files appear in a subdirectory of ```/home/user/QubesIncoming/``` with the randomly generated name of the disposable qube. * Scan documents in the named disposable and then close the window without having the qube automatically shutdown and deleted. When transferring the files from the named disposable to another qube, they will always appear in the ```/home/user/QubesIncoming/sys-print/``` directory, which is more organized than the other method. * Add another printer for temporary use by doing the following: 0. Replace qvm-firewall rules for sys-print qube if on a different network (example: public library). 1. Download any needed drivers for the new printer. 2. Copy drivers to sys-print qube and install them. 3. Click the Qui-domains application widget and select ```sys-print``` then ```Run Terminal```. 4. Execute the command ```sudo system-config-printer```. 5. Add new printer. 6.
