Now, I know at first this is going to sound quite strange (because you are going to have to physically be at the scanner to scan something), but does anyone know of a piece of software I can install onto my server [connected to the All-In-One device] which can be easily accessed by corresponding client software and allow me to scan documents to a network location?

Network Diagram:

Scanner + Printer <----> Windows Server 2008 <-- Wireless --> Windows XP

I want the Windows XP machine to be able to retrieve the scanned document. Basically the Windows Server 2008 is a very expensive laptop which was dropped and now has a dead screen which would cost £300 to replace - instead I'm not going to buy any server hardware.

I can remote desktop in to the machine and do it, however, the end users aren't this tech saavy.

TIA.

Much apprieciated. (Although the $150 price tag wasn't... )

It's pretty much your only option, though you could remote desktop into the server and scan there.

Good enough.

I'll elaborate a little though, We tested a ton of different programs for exactly this purpose. Remote scan was the only one that really worked.

i also read that certain drivers for certain scanners support lan scanning but unless u already hve one that does or the update adds this functionality it's cheaper to use remote scan
