Q: Connecting scanner via TimeCapsule

I have a Canon Cancan LiDE 120 scanner.  I want to connect it to my lan using TimeMachine USB port.  My laser printer will work that way, but the OS System Preferences "Printers & Scanners" utility will not find the scanner.

 

Is it possible to network a scanner via the TC/Airport so that all my computers can "see" it?  If so would appreciate any advice on the setup.  

 

Note: even when directly attached to a computer the "share (printer) on the network" button disappears when a scanner is selected.

 

Thanks

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
