The Brother laser printer I bought 12 years ago no longer works. Well, that’s not entirely accurate.<\/p>\n

The Brother laser printer I bought 12 years ago doesn’t have drivers that work with anything after Windows XP, and I no longer have any machines running Windows XP.<\/p>\n

This presents me with an opportunity. You see, I discovered this site about real-world disaster preparedness<\/a> sometime in 2006, and I’m a big fan of the idea that you should scan everything<\/i>. Data space is cheap, so why not?<\/p>\n

Well, this leads to rather large piles of documents to be scanned. For a while, I had a flat-bed scanner–but that was tedious and it, too, is no longer supported.<\/p>\n

What I want is a sort of scaled-down version of this<\/a>. We have those at work, and they’re awesome. I want something that is network-enabled (wired or wireless, I don’t care either way), and has duplex scanning<\/i> and printing, with a document feeder for the scanner, and costs less than a 10\/22. I thought this guy<\/a>\"\" would work for me, but then I started reading the reviews for it.<\/p>\n

My use case is that I’d drop the giant stack of papers my insurance company sends me* in the document feeder, hit a button, and a PDF magically appears on my server. That’s why the duplex scanning bit is important: I get lots of double-sided documents I need to scan.<\/p>\n

So, anybody got one?<\/p>\n

*I get these things electronically when possible, but even then it’s a pain to go to 37 different websites to get all the documents that regularly come to my physical mailbox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
