Since it seems like this may also be the de facto scanner thread, I'm in the market for a multi-page scanner. I have Scanbot on my phone for one-off stuff, but we're trying to go paperless at home and I just got a new job+promotion which means I actually have to sign contracts and stuff. I don't want to break the bank unless it's really worth it to spend $500+ rather than $300. Not essential but would be nice: scan to network (Samba) folder, scan to cloud (Dropbox/Sharepoint), solid Linux support. Would consider spending an extra $50-$100 for the above but the most important thing is a good scanner that will last me for a while. Current candidates: Epson ES-400, Brother ADS-2200, and Brother ADS-2700W. Anyone got experience with either or an alternate recommendation? Centrist Committee posted:Just skimmed the thread. I WFH and could use a printer, especially now that the print shops are all closed. Is this still good guidance? I bought a Brother 5370DW (which I think is a predecessor or more basic version of the 5470) in 2008 and it is unironically one of the best computer purchases I have ever made, at least on a value per dollar basis rather than a fun-having basis. Doubly so after I married someone who (at the time) was WFH as an editor for an academic publisher. It's not without its annoyances but honestly it's been over a decade since I last was in a "man, gently caress PRINTERS" sort of mood. The main annoyance was that the wifi was WEP-only, which probably isn't an issue on a newer printer. When we moved to our current place I had to put it out of reach of a reasonable ethernet cable run, so I used an old Linksys WRT54 running DD-WRT as a bridge for a little while, then put it behind a Pi running CUPS over wifi. I set the Pi up about a year ago and haven't had to touch it since except to load paper.
