Brother ADS-1700W (edit: now that's the exact model)
Tiny,fast, scans double-sided straight to a network share. It's the most amazing thing I've bought in years, literally.
Since I have this exact problem and need... I went looking. By any chance did you mean the Brother ADS 1700W? If I'm going to take recommendations from strangers on the internet, I want to be sure I get it right. =)
Yes! Sorry for giving wrong details. That was from memory, and I am a goldfish...
The printer has a web interface where you set up destinations, and I set up a file path there. Separately, on the printer itself, you can set it up to do one action automatically when it detects material in the auto sheet feeder, and I used that so it auto-scans to PDF/A and saves it on that network share.
Then I have Paperless check that path once a minute. So my workflow is literally, drop the paper in the scanner, and 5 seconds later put it in a box, then a minute later I see it in Paperless. It's bliss.
I have just ordered a Brother ADS 1700W. You've convinced me!
Congratulations! I think you'll love it. There are some things to set up. Let me know if you have questions :-)
