Re: Scanner not hooking up to network

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

You cannot share a scanner over a network in Windows XP,
only printers.

You can install the scanner software on one PC,
but you cannot share the scanner itself over a network.

Help and Support Incorrectly States That Sharing of Scanners is Possible
