Scan to print via Image Capture and Desktop Printers

Push button printing (i.e. 'scan then print') doesn't work with my Epson scanner and OS X's Image Capture. But I found something close.

First create a desktop printer using Printer Setup Utility (Printers: Create Desktop Printer with a printer selected in the Printer List window). Next, in Image Capture, click the Automatic Task pop-up and then select your new desktop printer as the 'action' to be taken after the scan. After scanning, the file is automatically printed. If you wanted, you could also set the scan to location to temporary items (i.e. /tmp) if you only wanted to print.
