Honestly, I'd like to suggest that you get a real document scanner like the Brother ADS1700W. I got one used for less than 200bucks and it was the best purchase I made in several years. It scans double sided in color at about two seconds per sheet, straight to pdf on a network share, no computer involved.
I still have an AIO inkjet (also Brother) but only use that one's scanner for things that can't go into the auto sheet feeder.
Does the ADS1700W require drivers from Brother?
I really would like to find an AIO to conserve space. .
Drivers? I don't even have the scanner connected to my PC because it's not even necessary. It just scans and saves straight to the disk where I want it (network share).
My parents use a brother AIO with Ubuntu, but it doesn't have a doc feeder so I can't speak to that. Zero complaints otherwise. Some more advanced mfps will allow you to scan to a shared folder as well.
