I have an HP L7590 all-in-one.  It has memory card slots for SD, MMC, xD or
USB
memory devices.  It can then scan directly to one of these in the printer
itself.
The printer can then serve the storage out as  a Windows share.  So I scan
to
the inserted SD card, then use smbclient to get the scanned results to my
fedora
linux laptop.

This is a two step procedure, but it works perfectly.

My wife has a Windows XP laptop, and I've set it up to connect to the
printer
share at startup, so she just sees it as an attached storage device.

There are probably other all-in-one which would allow similar usage.
