The scanner at my last job was great. It was part of the printer, set up by central IT, and could send the scanned document to my email address. 10/10 scanner.
The AIO printer / copier / scanner I bought myself for WFH sucks as a scanner. Mostly because I'm on Linux, and there just isn't an easy way to get the documents from the scanner to my computer. I often just use Photoscan on my phone.
I've got a Brother AIO printer/scanner, and it has a Linux driver. Even for the scan function.
I can start the brscan service on my Linux machine and then just press the scan to PC button on the scanner and the scans land in ~/brscan/ over the network.
... I had gone to the Brother site for drivers, but not noticed any of the scanner stuff. It's less than intuitive, but once it works, it works! Thanks!
