Could you connect a RasPI or something else to the system, and use a more modern protocol to talk to the real world? I have an old laser printer that does not have Wifi nor Ethernet and I put a tiny DLink router (it's abandoned, have 32MB of RAM but it's enough for OpenWRT) and I use that as a printer server. You probably can do the same with your scanner. Mauro https://www.maurosouza.com - registered Linux User: 294521 Scripture is both history, and a love letter from God.

It's quite old (~ 2012), but it has a huge scan area and I have a colour-calibrated workflow for it, and there's no way I could afford a suitable replacement. Curiously, for something so old, it supports AirScan, so I could resort to that, only the colour calibration is off and it needs my computer's full attention to pull scans over the network as they happen.
I know no-one here has a crystal ball about where projects are going, but I'm getting a little worried that the only other way to access the scanner is via smbclient and the following options in my smb.conf:
client min protocol = CORE client use spnego = no ntlm auth = ntlmv1-permitted
Every time I access the share, I get the dire warning that 'The "client use spnego" option is deprecated'. The documentation has even more dire warnings about these features being removed entirely.
Are there other ways to access a CIFS share? I thought there might be a fuse driver, but I can't find one. I really don't want to have to trash perfectly good hardware that's never shared outside my local LAN.
