If you don’t mind using your phone then this is how mine is setup.
I use Microsoft Lens on the phone to make the scans. The folder that Microsoft Lens outputs to is synced to the Paperless consume folder with Syncthing. So basically, all the scans that I take with Microsoft Lens go right into Paperless automatically.
Even though I also have a printer/scanner, I find myself using my phone more often for convenience even if it does suffer some quality.
OpenBooks - Easily download/pirate books.
uLogger - Logging my travel and rides.
Adminer - GUI frontend that can access multiple databases.
Minimalist-Web-Notepad - A simple notepad for quick notes and lists.
