I use SANE for scanning.
sane-utils/etc/sane.d/saned.conf, list the IP adresses or network allowed to connectsaned.socketon your client (linux desktop)
echo "192.168.xx.xx" > /etc/sane.d/net.confscanimage -LThe scanner is also automatically listed in scanning utilities like
simple-scanetc. Don't know about phones or other devices, I assume there are scanner auto-discovery utilities; phones also have cameras so thy can scan on their own. I don't know about Web UIs, why not just use native printing/scanning features of guest devices?This won't work for Android windows and such devices. And it's a pain to setup, won't work 100% and some scanners are ven worse .
Scanservejs is the final solution for all platforms.
This. The goal is to have guests and family able to scan from whatever device, not from my huge linux gaming rig 😂. This one works already. And as said, point is covered, now I need the same for printing.
For document scanning I use this https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fairscan.app/ directly on the phone, works well even with a shitty camera.
I never had the need to print from android but I found this https://f-droid.org/en/packages/io.github.benoitduffez.cupsprint/, it might work.
Scanservejs looks nice but one more service to maintain and secure. I guess I'm a minimalist.
