If you happen to have a Mac with a recent copy of OS X, and also happen to have a network scanner (such as the Lexmark S515), this post is for you.
After I bought the above printer, I somehow managed to enable network scanning to my computer. It's great, you walk up to the scanner, throw some paper into the document feeder, press the scan button, and PDFs show up on your computer. I use this feature almost daily.
However, a couple of days ago I started setting up a new Mac, and realized that I had no clue how to do this. I spent about a day searching on the internet, looking for old driver CDs, downloading stuff, and pulling my hair out.
It turns out, all you have to do is click the "Allow scanning to this Mac" checkbox.
Hopefully this post will help someone else there keep their hair.
