I had a HP Scanjet 6300c scanner connected to my Windows 2000 PC and had it shared out no problem communicating with 2000 and XP PC's.<br />
User left and the XP user took the scanner and attached it to his PC with USB and it's working fine.<br />
<br />
However, i cannot get this scanner to share out to the other PC's now, be it XP and 2000.<br />
<br />
Any ideas ?

Sharing a HP Scanjet 6300C

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
