I admit to being a complete neophite where scanners are concerned.  And
since this post is probably off topic, if there's a better place to go to
get this info, someone please direct me.

I realize that there are (at least) two types of scanners, at least in the
context of this message.

1.  Page or document scanners.  Devices that scan paper images, i.e.
photographic prints, magazine pages, memos and the like.

2.  Slide or transparency scanners.  Devices that scan mounted (and perhaps
unmounted) chromes.

In some cases, such as the HP 6100C, a document scanner has a limited
ability to scan chromes.

My question is: do any of these devices scan print film, thus producing a
direct print, rather than scanning a print and making a copy?
