A new, modern, and secure print experience from Windows
If your printer for example supports IPP and Postscript or PDF then that would be possible. Higher end (commercial) HP printers usually offer this functionality. Take a look at CUPS [1] if you want to know more about IPP.

Trying to set up an old Zebra LP2844 as a network printer
Your best bet is to set up a print server. The support page even has a CUPS driver. CUPS is well known for supporting a lot of printers. I run it on an old Mac-mini running Ubuntu. You can run it on something as small as a Raspberry Pi.

PostScript’s Sudden Death in Sonoma
Apple should be more open about their removals. It isn't clear how this affects their CUPS implementation or PostScript printers https://www.cups.org

Microsoft to kill off third-party printer drivers in Windows
CUPS is under the Apache License 2.0 , so they can just use it, if they wanted: https://github.com/apple/cups/blob/master/LICENSE
They won't of course.

Is this easily solvable? I am going crazy
Another alternative is for you to set up a print server in VLAN20. Then set up the print server to print to the printer in VLAN99. CUPS is pretty easy to set up.

Sharing a Printer in a WiFi Network
But after both Apple and Linux switched their CUPS-based printing systems to Python 3 or some other breaking change that I don't mind to understand, the only way to print a document seemed to be using a PC running Microsoft Windows. So I had to save a PDF in the cloud or email it to myself, then startup Windows on a laptop physically connected to the printer, start the printing process, check if the paper has been printed successfully, and shut down Windows. What a waste of time and energy!

House upgrade: Need to keep an old USB-only printer connected wirelessly, would this work? (Old Router connected to new router)
Another option is to set up a print server. There are free print server programs that you can run on a computer. CUPS is pretty popular. I used to run it on a Raspberry Pi for an ancient LaserJet 1012. That printer just keeps going.

🔍Underrated Open Source Projects You Should Know About 🧠
Paperless-ngx is the successor to the original Paperless & Paperless-ng projects, both of which are now in public archive. The original projects are not dead, but rather, continued through the open source community!

Paperless-Ngx v2.0.0
There's this:

I don't know if it made it's way into this fork.

My take on document archiving: Virtualpaper
Agreed. It's difficult to beat paperless* for single-user systems. It does have some rudimentary user management from Django, but it's an admin party and there's no way to give users separate repositories. They've been looking into it for years, going back as far as the original paperless project. I imagine such a feature is difficult to add on as an afterthought because it touches everything, so it should be built in from the very beginning. And it seems they're looking for a perfect implementation, which may or may not exist. Thus, years later, paperless* remains effectively a single-user app.

Paperless-NGX
If I understand this correctly, the original Paperless was archived (Archival notice)[https://github.com/the-paperless-project/paperless/commit/9b...], so Paperless-NG was created.
Now that Paperless-NG seems to be going unmaintained (last commit on 15th Sep 2021), Paperless-NGX has been created with a focus on an org, so that the continuity of the project can be maintained with a simple path for the original creators to join back if they want to.
I don't think the community could have handled this better!

Announcing first release of Paperless-ngx, the community-supported successor to Paperless-ng
As many of you know "Paperless-ng" was a very popular fork of the document management system "Paperless". The initial author of -ng, Jonas Winkler, created an amazing project that was eventually designated as the 'official' successor. He maintained a furious development pace for some time but as of this post hasn't been heard from in months. A group of folks dedicated to the software (myself included) decided to try and revive the project and hopefully set it up for a long future. Yes, a similar thing happened with the original Paperless, we are hoping to avoid some of the same mistakes. See jonaswinkler/paperless-ng#1599, jonaswinkler/paperless-ng#1632 and historically the-paperless-project/paperless#711 if you are curious for more about all of this.

Alternative paperless-ng
yes, I know that project. Paperless-ng is actually a fork of paperless project. I borrowed many great ideas from both projects. Unfortunately both projects are now archived (paperless-ng is not officially archived, but in last 6 months there was no development, as it looks to me that main developer lost interest in the project).

Can someone recommend me a decent cheap document scanner?
I have a Brother ADS-1700W, works fine, a little fiddly to set up the profiles for one touch scanning but once it's done it's fine. I set up a workflow with https://github.com/the-paperless-project/paperless that lets me scan straight into OCR. https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng is the fork that I'm going to upgrade to in my CFT.
