No personal experience, but a google for "shared multifunction scanner" turned
up this under-$200 Brother product with networking built in, which would
certainly make it a better candidate than a USB-only device:
------- Included Stuff Follows -------
Brother MFC-5860CN All-In-One-Printer
"Built-in Wireless (802.11b/g) & Wired (Ethernet) Interfaces. Allows you
to share the MFC over a network. Just plug it into your wired or wireless
router and share it to print, scan, PC Fax and access to the digital
camera media cards or USB Flash Memory."

I imagine there are other MF units with network interfaces as well.
