The ability to share doesn't depend on the connection type. You can share a
printer whether it's connected via parallel, serial or USB. It comes down to
the OS support for that device. Scanners can't normally be shared but a few
come with specifically designed network scanning drivers.

Can USB devices be shared across a network?  I know printers and drives can
but specifically can a scanner type device or say a label printer be shared?
