How to give access to printer-scanner?

Question

Epson

Hey folks
I have 3 computers connected locally in the office. There is an Epson l3110 printer with a scanner function, it is connected to the first computer via USB. From the share, I gave access to the printer on other computers, printing works without any problems. Only now the scanner is not visible on the network. How to give general access to the scanner?

Answer 1

In general, MelkoSoft does not expect such a use case. If you want network scanning, buy a network scanner.

Regardless of the options offered by the link, these are all crutches.

Answer 2

On Linux, I implemented such a use case saned is able to communicate over the network between two computers. It is also possible for Windows, but through third-party software:
client: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sanewinds/files/
but the server could not be found - only connect to a computer with Linux
You can scan to a folder with some kind of Scan2pdf and take it from this folders by sharing it.
