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?
For that, the PC has to be on. I’m using that as well, but that’s not really what i want it to do in this case. For example…i get a an invoice in the mail, i open the mail and the Epson is in the hallway downstairs, right next to the main door. I put an ASN/Barcode on the original document concerning the user paperpless should file that document under, scan the document and put it in the loose filing bin…etc. Basically, i do not want to have to use the PC.
