That functionality (as well as printer sharing) is actually part of the
stock OS install so you could just hang the scanners off of a couple of
the machines.
Scanner sharing is accessed through the Image Capture application that
should be in your /Applications folder. I have no firsthand experience
with it; for my environment it's just as sensible to scan locally and
then transfer the resulting file to the machine where I need it (if
necessary). I'll fiddle with it if you need me to, though.
