I was installing an HP Officejet D135, (printer, scanner, fax, etc) on a small network. It installed fine on the host computer (new Dell running WinXP Pro). I shared the printer and fax and then installed them as a network printer on another computer (new Dell laptop running WinXP home). This is in a small office where the Officejet is physically behind the two workers. All is well in printer and fax land, but is it possible to share the scanner? HP gives instructions on how to share the "device" on a network, but doesn't go any further than sharing a printer. Microsoft XP help files indicate that you can share a scanner. I found a note on the MS knowledgebase that said the documentation was wrong. It appears that if the Officejet were to install itself as a scanner, then the scanner could be shared - but it doesn't. I've not been able to separate the printer, fax and scanner drivers to try to install the device as a scanner. Any suggestions on how to share the scanner portion of this Officejet? Thanks!
