Remotescan might have more control maybe I don't know. Scanshare is just accessed by a web browser and scans the entire page, but not too hard to crop later as needed.

619047 2007-12-09 22:35:00 Sorry Bantu, I think you are right I just dbl checked with my PC. So that the scanner's sharing might be diff from sharing files/folders/printers. An extra application is needed.

From some internet hints, I think you might need to see if all these things you have ever checked:

1. You ensure that you v got a scanner of which share function is featured; and your drive does support the share too.

2. Have you installed "NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol"? You might need this b4 you can share your scanner.

619048 2007-12-09 22:38:00 Scanners usually cant be shared, and I doubt adding any other protocols will do anything. Speedy Gonzales (78)
619049 2007-12-10 00:45:00 From what i have found SOME scanners have extra software on their CD's that allow sharing.

Also from my research WinXp up to SP1 seemed to have the ability to Share a Scanner, but SP2 ended that. Win2k seemingly also is able to share scanners.

NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocol did not add any extra Share functionality either.

619051 2007-12-10 02:10:00 That looks like a cool toy.

I have two software programs now working fine. Can scan from the other computers and from most programs now. One a legal demo the other not quite:-)
