There are specific networking scanners from Epson, they start at around
$3,000, so in general it's cheaper to buy serveral non networkable ones.

Any idea why they don't develop network capable scanning software which can
be purchased as an add-on to permit network sharing of cheaper scanners.
Surely the makers realise its not a good idea to have a $3000 scanner
sitting in a classroom mostly occupied by teenagers?

They do have network capable software for sharing scanners.
http://www.share-scanner.com/

HP Photosmart 2700 All-in-One series is network capable. About $360.

Thanks for the links - if that scanner sharing software product does all it
claims to do, it looks like they've come up with the goose that lays golden
eggs as far as sales to educational establishments are concerned.

The scanner in the second link is still to expensive.

I used to own a Umax Astra 1220P scanner but that only worked with
Vistascan. My understanding is that their "consumer grade" scanners wont
work with Magicscan and only the more expensive models will.

I'll take your word for it, I've only used the PLIII's and a Linotype Opal Ultra. I've
given up on the cheap HP's and the like long ago. You can find PLIII's on ebay pretty
reasonably.

There are a couple of newer Epson scanners which are able to be shared over a LAN using the networking capability built into the ISIS driver which is provided. These scanners are oriented more toward document scanning than photo scanning. Price point is more like$500-$1500. GT1500, GT2500, GT20000 ship with the networkable ISIS drivers.

Installation of the network is pretty simple.
