Sometimes there’s just simple questions which are just like… leave you stumped as how to explain to them properly.
I think the scanner/printer divide is more because often there’s a centralised printer in an office or something, but rarely is there a shared scanner. You’d have to walk over to it, place a document in, then walk back to your desk, run the scan, then walk to get the document again.
Yeah. Closest we come to something like that is either scan to email (directly from the printer) or scan to (network) folder. I’ve used both in the past, but both require a network connection.
If they had a network connection to the printer then the user would have direct access to it, and they wouldn’t need a computer to act as a print server.
Hilariously, in that case, the printer has Ethernet, so it’s entirely possible to do what they want. They just need to find a way to plug the printer into Ethernet. I explained this to them, they basically said that there was no way they could do that.
Sure. Ok.
Haha nice.
