Good printer/scanner for paperless ngx, small apartment (alien.top)

Hey there,

Looking for a great scanner printer combo that will allow me to scan documents fast and push them to my homeserver minipc via FTP. Since i need to print something every now and then, id prefer a combo over a dedicated scanner. My apartment is rather small, so i dont want to go for a full "office style" printer either. Do any of you have good reccomendations? :)

Thanks!!

Nearly all current printer companies have a model with these properties. The keyword is laser printer. You just need to decide if you need color or can deal with black and white only. My Brother MFC L-2710DW for example suits me well in a similar fashion. It’s network enabled, prints Duplex, we haven’t changed the cartridge in years etc. for below 200$. Just no duplex scan and only b&w. I agree with using the phone for scanning. iOS has inbuilt functionality, don’t know about android.
