If you have a desktop machine running Panther, and your Powerbook is also on Panther, then you may be able to achieve scanner sharing that way. Just set the preferences in Image capture to share devices in one mac and to look for shared devices in the other. I have tried to do it myself, to see if it would work. I was able to share my digital camera, but my scanner (actually an hp printer/scanner/copier) could not be shared (it did not even appear in the list of shareable devices in Image Capture). This was not a total surprise, because hp explicitly states that this psc 750 is not networkable (and it does not even work as a shared printer with usb print sharing :-(). Depending on the scanner model that you have, you might have more luck. I can't help expressing my admiration for Rendezvous... I could see my (Powerbook connected)digital camera pictures in Safari (running in my kids' BW) by just selecting it from the Rendezvous tab... no need to look for addresses, etc. (though it also works with http:/address.of.sharing.mac:5100). Amazing! Luis Thank you All. New openings I will certainly try. Greetings, Andre. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Scanner repetition?
Hello All, Not long ago I posted a query but did not get any reaction. Probably wrongly worded. So I will refraze: Setup: DSL modem Wan port of Airbase Extreme LAN to ethernet hub connecting to the cabled homenet. The Airport Extreme has a UBS Printer outlet. Connecting my Canon i550 BJ printer works smoothly and the machine is shared in the network. So I tried to connect the Canon 500F scanner through the intermediary of a USB hub with the printer to the printer outlet of the base station. No response. How can I connect the scanner permanently to my network. My computer is a 17 PB elevated to desktop status bij a Griifin iCurve assisted by a wireless keyboard and Pro mouse but on the move as well so I would not like to use its USB port for the scanner. Can anyone offer a solution? TIA and greetings, Andre. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
