You can't. The airport USB is a print server only. There are two
ways to do what you want. One is to connect the scanner to another
computer and share it that way. This is dependent on the scanner
software having a sharing feature. Keyspan has a device called a
USB Server http://www.keyspan.com/news/news.040108USBServer.spml.
They were showing it at MacWorld San Francisco but it doesn't look
as if it's released yet.

I was afraid of this. I'll look at Keyspan maybe it's a solution.
Thank you Clark, very much. Greetings, Andre
In Panther, one is supposed to be able to share scanners (and digital
cameras) through Image Capture. 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!
