Hi, I recently bought an Epson Ecotank ET-4850. Pretty happy actually with the printer itself, scanning quality is also quite good. However - it has a fatal flaw that i was not aware of.

I had an Epson WF-3620 that was able to scan to a folder, where Paperless-NGX then could do it’s magic. The ET-4850 doesn’t support scanning to a folder. It does support WSD, but that’s not really convenient…

Is there a way to do all this with a Raspberry Pi or another device that’s connected to the MFD?

    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.
