Password Control Use of Scanner

by wrytat Jul 3, 2005 7:15PM PDT

Is there any way to make people enter password before using the scanner? And is there any way to keep a log such that we can see who scanned what document every time? My scanner is a very old scanner that uses the printer port.

Yes.

Linux does that.

Connect the scanner to a Linux box. The set of software is called SANE which you can now wrap some basic scripts around to create your reports and logs.
