Chris,

Can you give some insight into the mechanics of such a setup?  Would this be
for single-sheet or a few sheets, or for mass volume scanning?  In any
event, wouldn't the end use need to physically visit the device each time he
or she uses it?

Network-attached printers evolved a long time ago because it's easy to
generate a print job, and pick it up asynchronously, perhaps hours later.
I'm guessing that network-attached scanners aren't as obvious a
setup because you inherently need to visit the device to start the job.  You
also need to save the output somewhere, so wouldn't a network-attached PC
with a shared drive fill the bill?
