The practical alternatives are to hook the scanner into the SMB sharing
system, or use sneakernet. Which of those has fewer potential security
issues? 

A company I do some work for is no longer self-sufficient in IT, it is
part of the company international IT Borg. As such, its PCs are all
hooked by VPN into a Windows domain, which rules out SMB networking with
anything non-Borg, and all the USB sockets are disabled. Not, oddly,
the SD card slots...

I've just eliminated an old PC there, which existed solely as a SMTP
server for the scanner. It now uses a Raspberry Pi running (straying
back on-topic) Raspbian.
