Sharring a scanner on a network

This is in answer to an earlier thread on the same subject.

There are several common situations where it useful to be able to
share a scanner on a network, such as:

1) A scanner is connected to a computer where someone is working who
does not want to stop doing what they are doing every time someone
else needs to use the scanner.

2) A scanner is connected to a computer on a home wireless network,
and someone on a laptop wants to use the scanner but does not want to
have to disconnect and then reconnect cables, etc.

3) A higher-end scanner is in a dust-free environment where a
technician or other worker physically places the documents and then
from their own computers operate the scanner without having to be
anywhere near it.

4) At internet cafes and other public use locations where a scanner
is located back behind a counter. The counter person can take
documents from a customer and place them onto the scanner, then
letting the customer operate the scanner from their own computer or
work station. This keeps the counter person from having to know how
to run any software at all.

Up until now it was not possible to easily do so, but software called
RemoteScan makes it easy to now share a scanner between other Windows
computers.
