Will the scanner work with the XSANE app? I like that because it has
various definitions which can be set so as to save ink/toner for
low definition requirements, and then hi def for the occasions that
require it. Using an Epson all-in-one, but I may be looking for a replacement--
got hit by lightning a few days ago, and a lot of electronic stuff is
now junk! (Have not yet checked the Epson--the router got killed in the
blast!)

Ouch. Sounds like a major hit. Sorry to hear that.
The HP M283cdw works with XSane very well. I create multi-page PDFs
directly using the scanner and XSane. Also works with gscan2pdf and the
GIMP direct scan (via sane)
My wife uses the HP scanning app on her Windows box over wifi with no
problem.
