But then you still have to transfer the image. OK, this is how it works: 1)Setup saned on the server (happens to share internet connections as well etc) 2)Installed sane-twaing on windows 3)From paint-shop-pro or Office2k or OpenOffice, choose something like "Insert->Graphics->Scan->Select Source->SaneTwain, then Insert->Graphics->Scan->Acquire" (on windows). OpenOffice under linux works similarly. Gimp on windows also has File->Acquire or simlar. This my mom cuold use. VNC, I don't think so. Then, I just use xsane under linux (or OpenOffice), and setup the sane net backend. Much simpler, and something people would pay money for (network-able scanners are expensive ..).
