Sure.
There are 2 computers (both in the same network) in an office, one of which is connected to a laser printer. I can successfully scan documents on that PC with NAPS2, but I can't find out how to scan with the second one (via network).
I know there's software (mainly proprietary) which makes it possible, I just wanted to know if I can do it with NAPS2.
Thanks.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Select the folder you want to save scans to on PC-2 and share it.
After scanning a document on PC-1, click "Save PDF", then type "\\PC-1" in the address bar of Explorer (instead of "PC-1", enter the computer name or IP address) and press Enter.
You should see the folder you shared. Select it to save.
In case the MFP is connected to a network, simply install the drivers on both PCs, and then configure NAPS2.

Yes, the MFP is connected to a network and I can connect to it from PC-2 to print documents. But when I install NAPS2 on both computers (also printer drivers) I can't choose the MFP in program's settings ("No scanning device was found" error appears).
Is there anything else that I should change in settings?
Hello, Ben!
All works really well, many thanks!
I'd like to specify one thing though. I scanned a document on PC 1 (via USB) and results were good as usual. I chose 100dpi and then 150dpi in settings menu. But when I switched to PC 2 (via network) and tried to scan the same document it looked worse. Tried 300dpi and saw that a scan was much the same as 150dpi scan on PC 1. I just wonder if it's something wrong with the MFP or driver or something else )
Still the update is GREAT, exactly what I needed.
Much respect, God bless you!

Yay! That would be AWESOME!
