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)

Sorry, but no. Canon has provided drivers to allow printing at the USB port of the AirPorts, but not scanning.
