I have a canon pro-1000 printer that doesn't get as much use as it should, my bad. 
I have been using the schedule purge sheet function in Qimage, works great. 
There is now, however, a pretty good stack of purge sheets.
Is there a way I could point the printer to a folder and have it printout a different image every 2 days instead of a purge sheet?
It might not exercise the head as well, but I would have a stack of small images I could actually do something with. 
For instance, I make up groups of note cards with 5x7 images on the front, is there a way to print one of those every 1-2 days.  I would then have gifts or useable items instead of purge sheets.
Just a thought.  I know the answer is to print more, but I have 2 other printers including a 44" printer that get used a lot more.  The poor pro-1000 sits ignored printing out purge sheets.
Thanks
Great program by the way.

FWIW - I reuse my purge sheets - or sometimes I use the back of "other stuff" as my purge sheets.  So I print out Sudoku puzzles, crosswords, memos and documents from the office, then use the backs of all of the above as purge sheets.  If I have to use plain paper as purge sheets, I use both front and back, and sometimes print over once it's really dry.

Yeah, you just need something to take up the ink.  As long as the paper is not curled, you can reuse them.

I am reusing the paper. 
What I was hoping to do is print something "useful" rather than a batch of purge sheets.  I guess I could sell those as modern abstract art.
I would rather have a small stack of images or cards that I could give away, than a stack of the purge sheets.   I just do not see how to
automate printing one image every two days or so.  Probably an easy way to do it, but not obvious to me.
Thanks again for a great program
