print("starting the pruning process")
scanning = "sudo scanimage --resolution 300 --mode color -o image.png"
os.system(scanning)
os.system("tesseract  image.png text.txt -l eng")
fantasyname = open("text.txt.txt" , "r")
fantasyname = fantasyname.readlines() 
for line in fantasyname: 
    line = line.split(" ")
    for l in line:
        if l!="" or l != ['\n', '\r\n']:            
            print(l)
            os.system("echo '"+l+"' > /dev/usb/lp0")
