They may be digital natives, but young workers were raised on user-friendly apps – and office devices are far less intuitive

I’ve got a Brother AIO printer/scanner, and it has a Linux driver. Even for the scan function.

I can start the brscan service on my Linux machine and then just press the scan to PC button on the scanner and the scans land in ~/brscan/ over the network.

… I had gone to the Brother site for drivers, but not noticed any of the scanner stuff. It’s less than intuitive, but once it works, it works! Thanks!
