I have 2 computers Linked together via a D-Link DSL-504T ADSL Router both operating XP.

I have one Scanner a EPSON Perfection 1260. Can I work both Computers to the one scanner

Probably not, scanners are not usually designed to be manipulated over a network.

I'd have to agree with Neil on this one -- I haven't seen any Scanner that could be shared across a network. However, I have limited experience with Scanners, so I could very well be wrong.

there are certain scanners that can share the scanning function over a network (i have a small samsung all-in-one here at work that does and a large savin copier that does) but any scanner that has this ability...comes with software specifically designed for this task...if your scanner didn't come with network scanning software...then she's gonna be a no-go (no-go means...if not impossible...VERY difficult and unreliable)

just as an adendum...if you set your scanners default "scan to" folder to a shared folder that all your computer's can access...then all you would have to do is scan everything to that folder..then retrieve them on the other computers

Thanks for your comments. It looks as if my problem cannot be solved easily
