I have an HP All in One printer. Not the Wifi kind. Just a simple USB printer/faxer/scanner.
I have been able to print from my android devices fine by using USB OTG with the HP print service plugin from the play store. Now I want to scan a document directly from my scanner into my phone. Ive done a ton of searching, but all I seem to find are these camera scanning apps, and I dont want to use those. Frankly the quality of a snap shot cannot compare to a physical feed scanner or flatbed scanner.
Ive tried using different office suites on my phone to see if they may have the feature, but I cant find anything.
Does Android even support this feature? When Im home, I like not having to turn on the family PC (running old Windows XP) where the printer is located just to scan something. Itd be nice to simply plug in the OTG cable and be done with it. Ill likely get an wifi printer soon, as HP now has scanning available for their wifi printer plugin...but I wont be upgrading just yet.
Thanks!
