Can you share a Scanner?
Can you share a Scanner?
How have you connected and shared a Scanner like this Visioneer USB on Windows 98 and connected to it from Windows ME using Ethernet with a Netgear router. The 2 printers are shared but not the Visioneer Scanner. -- You will find much more info at: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ ======================================= Regards, Gary 'Doc' Adams in Louisiana CTLouisiana @ msn comREMOVE http://computerteachers.digital-mall-online.com/ ~ Read to Learn - Write to Think ~ =======================================

Generally, you cannot. The scanner must be designed to be shared as a
network device. But why do you want to? You've gotta put the documents into it anyway - so scan them into a network folder instead of a local folder. -- Richard G.

In article , Computer Teachers LLC
says... Can you share a Scanner? Maybe, probably not. I almost got such a share working, once, on an IPX/SPX network. Didn't get all the way there, though. How have you connected and shared a Scanner like this Visioneer USB on Windows 98 and connected to it from Windows ME using Ethernet with a Netgear router. The 2 printers are shared but not the Visioneer Scanner. Considering that the person scanning a document would have to go to the scanner to insert the document, then back to the computer to initiate the scan, then go back to the scanner to retrieve the document, it seems a bit awkward to share the scanner. Cut the trips in half by scanning the document at the computer to which the scanner is connected. As Richard suggests, scan the document to a shared folder. That I have done, successfully, on several occasions. Put the document in the HP ScanJet IIp connected to my HP Pavilion 6745C, then scan to a shared folder on another HP Pavilion 6745C. Saves an extra trip because you only have to walk to the scanner once, and then back once. -- Norman ~Win dain a lotica, En vai tu ri, Si lo ta ~Fin dein a loluca, En dragu a sei lain ~Vi fa-ru les shutai am, En riga-lint
