Printing from scanner

The output of a scanner is an image -- which is why the file is saved in
some image format (tif ?) and the photo printing wizard opens. Many
times, scanners come with some form of Optical Character Recognition
(OCR) software, which "looks" at the image, converts it to characters,
ands allows you to save it to a text file. If OCR software didn't come
with your scanner, you'll have to get some. Try looking at
http://download.com.com/ or other shareware sites for "OCR" (without
quotes).
