Re: [LUG] Scanner access not easy

[Rick Timmis <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No I have no idea, but this is something I would like to do. Ideally I 
would like to provide each office with a networked scanner, plummed back 
to the main server. Given that they all run thin client this would have 
to be the way to do it. I would be really interested to work on this 
with you to find a solution

Cheers Rick
