The Kyocera FS-1120MFP is one such machine. Released in an era when offices were transitioning from paper trails to digital workflows, this monochrome multifunction printer (MFP) was built like a tank. It offers something modern cheap printers often lack: durability and low running costs.

However, as with many legacy devices released before the widespread adoption of Windows 10, users often encounter a frustrating obstacle: the scanner driver.
