Sure you can.  Install new scanner on a network (an HP Officejet Pro 8600 in
my case) and the first time you go to scan (or print) the computer already
knew of the device and asked if I wanted to automatically download software
specific to it - ensuring you get all the features of the multi-function
machine.  Say yes and a minute later everything "just works" (though I
believe you need the admin password to finish the installation... ).

After doing this I can now scan from Photoshop or Preview or... pretty much
any program that allows for importing from a scanner.  More than that, I can
print and get all the features of the printer (reducing ink usage, double
sided, etc.) and can access the card reader on the printer from any program
with an "Open" dialog.

I can, of course, modify this and lock out features from people if I wanted
some features to be password protected.
