re: Scanners
I had the same thing happen at a small business that I do the odd job for.
We tried everything so in the end, I bought a Raspberry PI and set it up for them along with detailed instructions of how to scan and transfer the docs to their work PC's.
Then last week, the owner returned from a trip to the Bank with a smile on his face and a package under his arm.
"Can you set this up to run the scanner?"
He revealed a secondhand MacBook dating from 2016.
"I got it in settlement for an invoice," he said.
An hour later, the scanner was working fine when connected to the MacBook and we'd mapped the shares of each of the Office workers to it. Everyone is happy.
Now he is thinking of moving the rest of his Office away from Windows.
It is the little things that really turn people off of Windows. No OS is perfect but TBH, the more I see of Windows 10, the more I think of Nero fiddling while Rome burns.
I'm so happy that I retired before W10 became the [insert swearword of choice here] it is now..
Biting the hand that feeds IT
