Hi mark. This is possible. I use a setup like that here. You have to install the drivers for the scanner on your system. The installation should give you a chance to connect to your scanner wirelessly. I would be happy to help if you need anything more.

I would like to use a program like text cloner PRO at work. However, text cloner like most OCR programs looks for the default scanner driver. Since the system of computers at work uses a network scanner, there are no drivers installed on my computer. Thus, I am dependent on someone else doing the scanning, and sending the file to me to have the OCR program convert it. It seems highly inefficient. How do I go about directly accessing the scanner from my computer? It is a canon wireless scanner as I understand it. The computer is windows 7, running the latest version of JAWS. Any ideas are appreciated.
