I think what you need is a wide carriage printer with the typical feed up through a slot in the bottom, and a camera.

The only working function needed from the printer is form feed. Photograph the page that is hanging below the printer, form feed and repeat.

Anybody here ought to be able to handle the programming to automate this process.

You would need to manually photograph the first page.

The camera would need good depth of field.
