    You will need to install sane on both the server and the clients. Sane
    is supposed to work on MacOS X, and definitely works on many other Unix
    systems, but I'm not sure if it has been ported to Win32.

    The server would run saned and the clients need to be configured to use
    the server host as scanner backend.

    For debian saned is contained in the sane-utils package.

    All this has nothing to do with SCSI itself and would be just the same
    for a USB-attached scanner, so please consider asking further questions
    in groups that typically discuss the operating systems you intend to
    use. And read the saned(8) and sane-snapscan(5) manpages before you do
    so, they should already contain all the information you need.
