The multifunction device works great as is. &nbsp;However, I'd like to add the ability for a user to make a color copy by scanning a document directly to a separate color laser printer. &nbsp;The LaserJet M1522nf allows the option to add additional destinations reachable by the device control panel, but those destinations are only to other programs, to a file, or to an email.<br />

Is there any way to create a scan to destination to another printer? &nbsp;Could this be achieved by using an executable that automatically prints whatever is sent to it? &nbsp;Does anything like this exist? <br />
<br />
Another option would be a program that monitors a folder and prints whatever is dumped into it. &nbsp;I could set a destination on the scanner to scan a file to a specific directory, and then the program monitoring the directory would print this. &nbsp;I just need to find that software...<br />

Thanks in advance!

How do I scan directly to another printer from a networked multifunction device?

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Document imaging is an information technology category for systems capable of replicating documents commonly used in business. Document imaging systems can take many forms including microfilm, on demand printers, facsimile machines, copiers, multifunction printers, document scanners, computer output microfilm (COM) and archive writers. Document imaging is a form of enterprise content management, built around the need to manage and secure the escalating volume of electronic documents (spreadsheets, word-processing documents, PDFs, e-mails) created in organizations.

Document Imaging

A Document Management System (DMS) is a system (both hardware and software) used to track, manage and store documents and reduce paper. Most are capable of keeping a record of the various versions created and modified by different users (history tracking). It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management (ECM) systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems and records management systems.
