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?

    Scan to folder usually doesnt involve a PC at all. The scanner saves the file on a network share via NFS or smb
