Tony Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Hi AllI just got this mail from a friend,Can any body help?I have a Canon MP730 Printer/Fax/Copier/Scanner connected via USB to one ofmy office PCs. I can share the printer and the Fax with other PCsbecause they both appear as printers. But, how can I share the scanner? Youcan't share it like a printer but I'd like to be able to scan from the otherPCs too. Have mailed Canon but no reply yet. Have checked the web, but nohelp. Any ideas?Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spikeychris Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Depends what you mean by sharing, you can allocate the device to a drive and share that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted October 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Hi What he wants to do, is to be able to use the scanner from any computer on the network.We have found a Hardware solution but it is quite expensive, so we are still looking for a software based solution to this problem..CheersTonyPS Mod's / Admin please do not be so quick to mark a post as solved.Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBH1 Posted November 6, 2003 Report Share Posted November 6, 2003 Just bein' nosey - - -why would he need to scan across the network ?? If it were possible ( and I ain't sayin it ain't ), he would need someone at the scanner physically putting things in the scanner to, well, scan - - -.Couldn't he just scan from the PC the scanner is on, wop images to shared drive then 'go back to his own PC to do his 'manipulating' ??just my 2 penneth and tell me to keep me nose out if you want :P I won't, but you can tell me to - - :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 OI Keep your nose out :D I understand exactly where you are comming from, i don't understand it my self, his office is only about 10 foot square, with 2 0r 3 computers in it.I suppose it would make sence if the scanner was connected to a server, and as long as that is on, he could scan from any PC which was on at the time.I don't know :blink: Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
