That’s not totally true. Javascript has a print() method. However, you would need to set your scanner to fall under your printer choices on your network. Then you need to get creative. You can have all your scanned files automatically get stored in a cloud. Then use their API and your javascript code to get access to the scanned image. Obviously user input will be required. Never give up! If someone hasn’t done it yet, its because youre suppose to do it first.
