If your server is linux, and your scanner is supported by sane 
(http://www.sane-project.org/), and connected to a linux machine,  and you 
can get it all setup  then a script with:

scanimage | pnmtopng > /path/to/httpd-root/receipts/$sonum.png

Could do the trick for you. (without much fuss :) ) Simply put the document on 
the scanner bed, associate a button in SL with that script, and will put the 
image anywhere you need.  For most receipts, you'll probably want to 
add "--brightness=-25" to scanimage to darken it a bit. (depending on scanner 
model)
