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?

    Do you mean you want to put the resulting image files into a particular folder on your computer?

    I would have thought anything to do with folders and stuff is up to your scanning software, not the scanning device.
