Ever since NTLM support was removed from the kernel
<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=76a3c92ec9e0668e4cd0e9ff1782eb68f61a179c>
last year, I've been unable to access my network scanner. It's quite old (~
2012), but it has a huge scan area and I have a colour-calibrated workflow
for it, and there's no way I could afford a suitable replacement.
Curiously, for something so old, it supports AirScan, so I could resort to
that, only the colour calibration is off and it needs my computer's full
attention to pull scans over the network as they happen.

I know no-one here has a crystal ball about where projects are going, but
I'm getting a little worried that the only other way to access the scanner
is via smbclient and the following options in my smb.conf:

client min protocol = CORE
client use spnego = no
ntlm auth = ntlmv1-permitted

Every time I access the share, I get the dire warning that 'The "client use
spnego" option is deprecated'. The documentation has even more dire
warnings about these features being removed entirely.

Are there other ways to access a CIFS share? I thought there might be a
fuse driver, but I can't find one. I really don't want to have to trash
perfectly good hardware that's never shared outside my local LAN.

thanks,
 Stewart
