To clarify what I'm looking to do:

I'm not looking for any OCR.  This is strictly for archival purposes.
I want to be able to scan the document from a command in Filepro and 
place it in a specific location with a specific name that Filepro can 
control and store.

The specific application is to store shipping, receiving, and batch 
records for a food-processing operation.  These documents require a 
physical signature, so simply recording the transaction itself isn't 
good enough.

PrintWizard looks like a workable solution if I can see a scanner 
connected to another machine.  But any other thoughts are welcome.
