I use SANE for scanning.

  • install sane-utils
  • configure /etc/sane.d/saned.conf, list the IP adresses or network allowed to connect
  • start saned.socket

on your client (linux desktop)

  • add the SANE server IP to to the config echo “192.168.xx.xx” > /etc/sane.d/net.conf
  • list the scanners scanimage -L

The scanner is also automatically listed in scanning utilities like simple-scan etc. Don’t know about phones or other devices, I assume there are scanner auto-discovery utilities; phones also have cameras so thy can scan on their own. I don’t know about Web UIs, why not just use native printing/scanning features of guest devices?
