Yeah easy-scanner-sharing for all working scanner would be cool. But that it can't be done under win is not true. I have a Umax Astra 1220S and with the software of this scanner sharing of the scanner in the network is possible. And as I read someone asked why somebody would need that, this question could be applied to printers the same way: for me: -having the scanner for both machines , no matter which one is on -having the scsi-card ib an independent machine since I have only 6 PCI slots -hopefully fax with the server without a monitor on it , just with pressing a button for others: -different scanners, for different purposes => scanning without the need of the physical access to the machine there the scanner is plugged to -workgroups can share their scanner without disturbing each other. As said, the same things that could be applied to printers. -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
