I have an HP69689 "all in one" printer/scanner/copier. It works fine.

I can scan using an application and print via "lpr" or any application's
print command that seems to work fine.

I was just wondering if there is a command line or gui *copy* command.

I had to stand up and go around to the front of the printer and do my
copying via its built-in touch screen. This is *not* a big deal and I
seldom need to copy.

I'm just curious if a command line or gui does exist.

*Some* modern networked (wired or wireless) all-in-ones have a built-in
"webserver" app. Whether this app includes anything like this is unknown, but
possible. Try: http://ip.address.of.printer/ in a web browser and see what
you get. If this printer is connected via USB or Bluetooth, this won't be
available -- it will only be on a network connected printer.
