Dell 3115cn
It appears that while the Dell 3115cn has a scanner and software that will allow you to scan from the desktop it is only possible to do this via a direct connection, i.e. USB. Scanning over the network is not possible, however scanning from the unit itself to a PC is possible.

 Before starting ensure that you have the following: 


 * The IP address of the printer
 * The IP address of the computer(s)
 * The Windows log on name of each user

 Computer Client 


 * On each PC you will need to create a folder called 'dellscan' (without the speech marks)
 * Make the folder available to all users using Windows 'Sharing and Security' options

 Printer (Via Web Interface) 


 * Next in a web browser in the address bar enter the printer's IP address
 * If a log in screen appears enter 'admin' for the username, in its default state the password is blank
 * You have now logged on to the printer
 * From the links on the left-hand side click on 'Address Book'
 * From the tabs click on “Server Address”
 * Click “add”
 * ID - This is the numbered place in the address book and is prefilled and is not editable
 * Name - The name of the user, e.g. Fred Dibnah
 * Server Type - Select SMB
 * Server Address - The IP address of the client computer (not the printer)
 * Server Port Number - 139
 * Login Name - the login name of the client computer, e.g. fdibnah
 * Login Password - Depending on your network set up this may or not be needed
 * Share Name - dellscan
 * Server Path - Skip this
