The Brother ADS-1800W is everything I wanted from a scanner. The only thing I had to configure on the touch display were the Wifi credentials and assigning two scan profiles to shortcut buttons. Once the wifi was working I was able to configure everything else on the web interface. It&#39;s no beauty but it works. And now it sends PDF files via SFTP to a freebsd jail which is running paperless-ngx and a slightly modified sshd. Cool stuff. #paperless #freebsd

@arathunku If you're still looking for a scanner, I can recommend this one. :)

@malte I have the ADS-1700W and it’s driving me mad, because it forgets date/time when it’s shut off and it takes at least 60min to get it via NTP after turning it on. Is this still present on the ADS-1800W?

@malte did you install the paperless-ngx package or did you install it via pip / python?

@malte Sounds cool, thanks for sharing! Is it also possible to run via sane on a raspberry so I can avoid network? #paperless #freebsd

@malte Second that recommendation (and paperless-ngx). If you are running a newer sshd you might have to add to your sshd_config: ~~~ PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms +ssh-rsa HostkeyAlgorithms +ssh-rsa ~~~

@malte @hukl The brother MFC printers are similar, also very much worth of recommendation, IMO 😀 I scan to two separate Samba shares. One is the Paperless-NGX destination, one is for stuff I don't want in Paperless-NGX. Works beautifully.
