I just tested it and it worked OK for me. I posted about it here: <a href="http://www.documentsnap.com/does-neatworks-work-with-newer-scansnaps/" rel="nofollow">http://www.documentsnap.com/does-neatworks-work-w...</a>. I imagine the S1500M will be the same. Hi, sorry for the delay. I just tested it and it worked OK for me. I posted about it here: http://www.documentsnap.com/does-neatworks-work-w….

Does anybody out there have any direct experience getting NeatWorks to work with any of the newer Fujitsu models: the S1500M, the S1300, or the newest S1100? I imagine it should work, but I have yet to find anybody who has actually tried it, successfully or not.

By the time I purchased the scanner with windows software and added $79 for the Mac version of NeatWorks i've blown my budget. So I'll probably stick with a Scansnap S1500M (plan to purchase) and my receipts/biz card will be handled by NeatWorks which i'll gladly pay the $79 for. That way I won't be tempted to track biz cards and receipts in DEVONthink Pro Office which I want to use research and other stuff. Glad to know the link is working. Also I'm waiting for the next major version of NeatWorks for Mac. At WWDC they were talking up new features enabled by Snow Leopard that piqued my interest Costco right now has a great price on the NeatDesk ADF scanner and NeatWorks software for 299 but no Mac software.

I will say that the Mac version of NeatWorks seems pretty well received and they've made it quite slick, so I doubt it's the second class citizen issue like so many other vendors.

I agree with racerx90. Upgrading ScanSnap Manager would be the first step. Otherwise, I guess you'd either have to contact NeatCo support to see what is up, or do as our forefathers did and add NeatWorks manually to ScanSnap Manager (which it sounds like you already did). Tres etrange. @Ben

Now if you're willing to put a dedicated system hooked up to the scanner – then you have options (while I haven't tried it, I'm pretty sure SANE could also accomplish this plus you already have at least 1 computer anyway since you're planning on sharing it.)

I can figure out how to do it but have never had the chance.

I did some searching and came across lots of people who wanted to
network their scanners using Bonjour or something, but not a lot of
success.

If anyone has had any luck, let us know!

It doesn't operate like a standalone network scanner or multifunction printer device which can be plugged into a print server and can operate on it's own.
