Standalone scanners with ethernet jack? (sh.itjust.works)

Does this even exist? I have a brother mfc but trying to print anything at all will spitout a blank page and partway feed 2 more and call it a jam, exact same way every time and this also prevents scanning until it is cleared and the drum is jiggled before closing the front panel. I also have a standalone colour laser printer.

I'm not super excited about the idea of getting another mfc when I have a working printer so I'm looking for recommendations on standalone linux compatible scanners that have wired network capability, ideally with document feeder. So far I've looked at a few but I have low confidence on the linux functionality and network jack isn't even mentioned in spec sheets where I can see it in the picture.
