Hi,
how would I go about accessing a scanning device that is connected via
network?
The device is an OKI MB441 and supports TWAIN and WSD (whatever that is
...). Google hasn't been helpful at all with this. Everyone seems to
assume that you would connect the scanner to a computer through USB,
SCSI or a parallel cable and make the scanner available on the network
through the computer it is connected to by running saned on the
computer.
I have it the other way round, the scanner is on the network and I want
to access it from my computer via network.
I don't know this exact device, but I'd try connecting it via Ethernet
(device spec shows that it has Ethernet card and device supports quite
advanced options regarding network connections.) After assigning IP
address to this device check using web browser if there is any kind of
web base management interface. It's highly probable that software
attached to this device is designed only for Windows.
