How to distribute a local USB scanner from an MFP over the network?

Question

network hardware

A non-network MFP model HP LaserJet Pro M1132 MFP is available - there is only one connection interface - USB 2.0. The task is as follows: to distribute the printer and the scanner of this MFP over the network to a couple of computers. I coped with the first one - the printer prints successfully, but there were problems with the second one - it is impossible to share the scanner with the built-in Windows tools and HP proprietary programs, and the stability of the third-party application that I am currently using leaves much to be desired. At least in the vastness of the network, I have so far found only one tool - Blind Scanner, and despite the ease of use, the “server” of this application falls off more often than accountants have time to scan their documents.
I searched similar questions on the toaster: people advise Remote Scan, Scannito, and some other “driver” from KYOCERA, but which of these tools is really stable, I don’t know.
PS If there is no stable tool in nature, then isn't it easier to set up scanning to a network folder - is it possible on this MFP?

Answer 1

All these solutions are "crutches" and they will not work stably. If the MFP can scan to a folder, make a shared folder on the PC to which the MFP is connected, and scan from it to this folder, then take it over the network.
Or buy a network MFP

Answer 2

You will not achieve stable work, the maximum that you can try is to share usb to the local network. but it's the wildest bastard

Answer 3

If you can scan from the control panel (without using a computer), then it might be even more convenient to organize. Or if there is a scan to a USB flash drive connected to the USB port of the MFP...

Answer 4

I used Remote Scan once, it worked fine, without problems, for more than a year.
