Share a scanner bewtween macs?

Currently our student newspaper office has three macs connected to the network via ethernet and two macbooks connected via the wireless network.
We'd like to get a scanner for the office. My question is, is it possible to have the scanner plugged into one mac and then share it like we do with our printer? We're trying to avoid making one computer the "Scanning station."
All macs are Intel based, thanks in advance for your help

In theory you can share a scanner using Image Capture. If you search the forums and Google you'll find more information.

  • Sharing Scanner from Mac Os X Lion to Windows

    Is there a way to share a Scanner from my Mac OS X Lion Server to a Windows 7 PC?
    I know that there's no official support to do this, but perhaps someone in the forums have done it already with some third-party software.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Insert the disc in the drive and reboot. After the chime hold down the Option key for a one time boot menu. If after that screen comes up you don't see the Superdrive and or Snow Leopard DVD as a boot option then the SD is bad and need to be replaced. You could then go to another Mac and create a USB install thumb drive of Snow Leopard and use that to do the reinstall.
    But you do not have to repost this same question over and over again in different threads.

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

    How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

    Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

  • How Do I Share Music From My Mac to My Android Cellphone

    Got an Android LG Volt cell, anyone know how I can share music from my Mac to it? Every time I connect the phone by USB cable, it charges it, but the phone never shows up on the desktop or in finder. I can't figure out how to give it some music. Even tried the help and support from the Cellphone company, nothing there.

    Close iTunes.  It has no ability to sync a non-Apple phone.
    Then look in your iTunes Media folder to see the song files, and handle them in accordance with the instructions that came with your phone.

  • Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?

    Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?
    I want to be able to create a document on my computer and save it on both my MacBook Pro and another MacBook. Also, I want to be able to open documents saved only on the MacBook on my MacBook Pro. Is that possible on the same wirelss?
    Thank you!

    You would not want to use ad hoc networking if you also need to access the internet. I'm not even sure it is possible.
    How are you accessing the internet from these Macs now? If you have a wifi (or wired) network that you both access in your work location, you should be able to use File Sharing across that network, so you shouldn't need the ad hoc network.
    Some general observations:
    You'll need a plan for how to keep straight which Mac holds the most current version of a file. That should probably be to keep each file in only one place (your Mac, the other Mac, a local file server, a cloud server). Even in our home, with one person doing most of the file accessing, I find a central location works best for this; in my case, that's a desktop system that stays on all the time, but a disk attached to my AirPort Extreme base station, a Time Capsule, or a NAS would serve.
    If you make use of the portability of the MacBook[Pro]s to work in different locations, you'll also need a plan that includes that working away from the main work location. If you often work with common files while away from your main work location, a cloud solution may be best even with just two of you. Depending on the size of your files, one of the free cloud solutions may suffice; most offer paid expansion as your needs grow.

  • Pse10 will not recognise Epson V750 Pro scanner in Mac 10.7.2

    Hi all
    I'm having trouble getting my Pse10 Organiser to recognise my Epson V750 Pro scanner with Mac 10.7.2 .  In <get pctures from > it goes straight from 
    < cameras or card readers > to < files or folders > with no scanner option in between.
    I have tried installing Twain plugin  in every concievable location but the message is always the same < Photoshop does not recognise this type of file > . On opening Pse10 it flashes during initialising < building Twain menu items. Epson V750 Pro >  so it must almost be correctly installed.   In the hard drive the Twain plugin is described as  <alias >.
    I have tried :   applications/Pse10/support files/optional plugins/import modules/ = Twain .   &:  support files/plugins/import modules/ = Twain and  Anti-Ali...T.plugin .  The scanner works perfectly as a copier on the Mac when not in Photoshop so the driver is OK and up to date . The problem is between Mac & Photoshop, this is a purchased DVD installation which I have uninstalled-re-installed several times. The technicians at Adobe suggested trying downloading Trial Pse10 to check if my disc is off but on downloading the Trial it gets stuck every time  in  < extracting > after ten hous of which I give up .
    Someone suggested that this may be a 32 bit / 64 bit problem, I just do not know.
    Any ideas would be gratefully recieved.

    There is no scanning into organizer on a mac, as explained before in your other thread. Installing the plug-in only enables scanning into editor (in windows, organizer scanning is via WIA only, and there's no WIA on a mac).
    If you see alias, you did not move the plug-in, you made an alias for it. You must move the actual plug-in, not make an alias. Just drag it over without pressing any other keys.
    This will not work unless your scanner already works with OS X scanning. When it's connected and you open Preview and go to File>Import from Scanner, do you see your scanner listed?

    I wanna share wifi using my mac book pro but so that I can use my ndsl. However it only accept WEP but not WAP. How can I change my sharing?

    Check out the articles below. You should not select WEP as it is a protocol that is not recommended for wireless connection because of reliability and security.

    I have been trying to share file between my Mac Book Air and PC Laptop.Sometimes my Mac sees the PC and tries to connect but every time the connection fails. It says server may not exisit or network problem. I have apparently no network problem. Thanks for any help you may provide

    hi,
    somewhere on the windows machineshould be something like "network setup wizard". exactly where it is and what it is called i cannot remember off the top of my head, windows help is actually slightly useful here, it should have a link to it.
    all the options checked on the mac are only what services the mac is offering to other machines, they have nothing to do with the services it can access (mostly...).
    oh yeah, to actually connect to the pc after you have turned its sharing on, use the finder, or, when it does not show the pc (this happens on and off, possibly a refresh problem apple...) choose go --> connect to server and enter smb://<pc's name or ip>
    to find the ip, the easiest way i think is
    start --> run --> cmd ->> ipconfig
