Your best bet, IMO, is to set up scan to email. Input the SMTP server name or IP, DNS, and get your machine on the network.

Agreed, I use a MAC and there doesnt seem to be a solution that will work with a MAC except Scan to email.

You can use FTP or Twain (pull) scanning, but they have their limitations and head aches. The FTP would need to be set up on individual Mac's and would need to be compatible with the OS. Twain could be used for pull scanning into editing software, but also needs to be set up individually on each Mac and they have to have software to scan into. Scan to email is probably the easiest and quickest to set up on a network level.

Macs can scan to SMB also. From the Apple menu, select system Preferences> Windows sharing (this is the term for SMB) (on newer mac OS select File sharing). Then Start, then Accounts and select the folder to share.
Go to the WIM, >address book and enter the path into the SMB line.
In File transfer enter the user name and password.

after that create a new folder then goto folder information make sure the user name has read and write option active.

I was unaware Mac's had the SMB possibility. Thanks for the info guys.
