How would you get the scanning software to work? Normally these things are
installed as two devices on Windows a Printer and a Scanner (some times
three if they do FAX, as they have a FAX printer.) You can alter the port on
the printer device(s) as printers are very "odd" windows devices. You can
generally point any printer at any port (lptx, comx, standard TCP/IP port).
including a network port. Look at the ports page on the "Printer
Porperties". However you can't do the same on the scanner software. Its
"hard wired" into the USB device in the server config, so you can't easily
convert it. Where I work we have a Multifunction thats on the Network and it
works by e-mailing any scanned items to you to avoid this... Any way I think
if you want this type of function you need to buy a Multifucntion designed
to support it..
