node-hp-scan-to VS scan-to-smb1

This one worked for my HP scanner https://github.com/manuc66/node-hp-scan-to

Maybe it's not something standard and every company has their own implementation :shrug:

People using HP printers with feature "Scan to Computer" are also using https://github.com/manuc66/node-hp-scan-to to send document to Paperless-ngx : https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/tethlr/hp_scan_...

Some time back I posted about a very cool little project called node-hp-scan-to, which allows me to scan documents from my HP Printer directly to the /consume folder for Paperless NGX. I was never quite happy with things and ran into a few issues (mostly between Paperless and Redis - I was running them on Unraid) so I finally sat down and put everything into a docker-compose file. I hope this helps someone else out there.

This is where the node-hp-scan-to docker came in super handy. It was very easy to setup and configure, and allowed me to have my scanner (on an guest wifi network) send scanned documents straight to unRaid.

All the guides on the internet for exactly this error code are completely misleading and say to fix registry keys (but not which of them), but i use linux so i was 1000% sure that's not the issue. And yeah i'm a software developer and use https://github.com/manuc66/node-hp-scan-to to scan pages and i added support for my printer there 🤣

On the downside, the paper tray is fully covered (so no dust on paper) but stands out of the device a bit on the front which I find very annoying. The set up to create scanning profiles and thus enable scanning to network locations is also a bit frustrating, as it requires a tool only available for Windows iirc. Lastly, the device only supports some super old version of the SMB protocol, so you need to invest a bit of time for setting up a sandbox (for example something like https://github.com/jan-di/scan-to-smb1). It's also not the fastest scanner out there.
