Since they need to walk to where the scanner is anyway, just tell them
to save the file over the network to their computer.
 
Greetings --

If you're talking about a home consumer grade flatbed USB or
parallel
port scanner, you can't. In general, input devices cannot be shared
over a
network.

HP, Canon, Xerox, Oce, Kyocera Mita, and other companies
manufacture
network capable scanners (They're actually multi-function devices that
also
copy, print, and sometimes fax and e-mail) and the requisite
specialized
software. The cost of such devices usually starts somewhere below
$10,000.00 USD.
