It's amazing what you can find with a little Google. All you have to do is type in "share a scanner on the network[^]".

Well, scanning with a standard scanner requires physical access to the scanner. Therefore, using more than one PC to scan is kinda difficult (as you'd have to get up to insert the documents, etc.) However, Windows does not offer Scanner sharing, neither for USB nor parallel-port scanners. In order to get a scanner into your network, you could go with one of two different ways: For a USB-scanner: You may have success with a Ethernet-to-USB Bridge. Then, however, the current user needs to close the application to enable anyone else to use the scanner. If you don't have a scanner yet: Buy a more pricey multifunctional device / photocopier. Some devices allow for their built-in scanner to be used over the network. This also means that, during the time the scan takes, noone will be able to use the device for anything else. If you go really high-end (Canon iR 6000 etc.) you can have the copier put anything it scans to a network share as PDF files. Works like a charm.
