About 4 weeks ago I set up a system for a similar-sounding (Ricoh)
photocopier - it will email scans as a bunch of PDF files, so I got it
to send email to a mailserver in the office, which pipes the email
through an attachment-saving script, and saves the results into a samba
share.

Users basically scan/send the document, then go back to their desk and
open it from their shared drive (in a folder named after date/time).

The hook there is that a scan/send can contain multiple pages, which
might be in separate PDF files (if the printer decides to do it that
way). So the extraction script has to get all the attachments. I can't
remember the script I wrote for them (but could get it if you're
interested) but suspect it used perl's MIME::Parser
