Windows doesn't have a scanner sharing capability built in. You'd
need either scanner sharing software from Epson, or a third-party
program such as the one here:

Scanner sharing isn't as convenient as printer sharing. Unlike a
printer, you have to be physically present at a scanner to use it.

Here are some other possible solutions:

1. Scan images into a shared folder on the computer that connects to
the scanner and then access the images from the other computer(s).

2. Use remote control software, such as Remote Desktop or RealVNC, to
operate the computer that connects to the scanner from another
computer on the network.

Thanks for the info... I'd rather not interrupt the other comp op whilst I
use scanner so I'll have a look-see at Remotescan

Regards
and thanks again
