I selfhost ScanservJS, uses sane under the hood and provides a nice web URL for scans. You can store the scans on a network or shared folder for paperless NGX.
I just wish something similar existed for printing as well...
Didn't know that exists, that's pretty neat! However, not really what i'm looking for in this case, because i don't want to use a device other than the printer itself. With scan to folder, you just set the MFP to scan something to an FTP, SMB or whatever folder. The ET-4850 unfortunately doesn't support that, so i'm looking for an alternative...i could just run a Windows VM on my Proxmox and let that do the "Scan-To" stuff, but that's pretty resource intensive... But the more i look in to it, it seems there is no solution (except a Windows VM) for this, as SANE only "speaks to the MFP" and the MFP can't talk to SANE via WSD...
I don't get you.
The scanner does not support scan to folder. Ok, so there is no other option than using another device to scan for you. Scanservjs fix that for you. Run it in a container of you don't want it on bare metal, its light and doesn't require resources unless you scan.
Sane is just Linux scanner engine, any Linux distro can install it easily.
I mean, why on earth use a windows VM??? Use a very simple Linux one without any GUI just install sane+ScanservJS and you are in business. Zero overhead.
