Share sane scanner over network so Windows can access it
I have two printer/scanners (both Brother MFC-2700DW) and I also have some windows 11 computers and a Mac that's not critical to support but Id still like to. The drivers + windows 11 don't really work with the scanners. However, Ubuntu + drivers works great. I know I can share these using SANE if I install a sane client on windows but the windows SANE clients look crusty to say the least. I would much prefer to just advertise the scanner with a protocol that windows can natively handle (WSD) and Mac can handle natively (eSCL). Is there a way to share the scanners in with WSD? EDIT: WSD is ena
