I have a special thing: I want to share my scanner over the network. The scanner is connected to a Windows 7 machine, but I want to use it from Ubuntu 10.04...

I found some methods:

  • USB over Network - it can handle Linux > Windows; and Windows > Windows it has Windows (and Windows CE) & Linux server, but it has only Windows client, their Linux client is coming soon - that's a drag :( - it is not free, but what uses Windows, what is free?

  • USBip - to Linux > Linux, it is free, and nice

I'm looking for the other way, what can handle Windows > Linux thing... I prefer free things, but that thing is maybe not free...

"If you want to share with another Linux or Unix system, SANE alone should work. If you want to share with a Windows client, you'll need a Windows SANE front-end, such as SaneTwain."
