There may be an answer, but you could install a full install of Linux  
on a computer, and mount /home remotely.  That particular computer  
wouldn't be a thin client, but it would be running linux, and perform  
the same.  If it was the "scanner" computer, kids could log into it  
in order to use the scanner.

The places I use scanners in linux have a smallish server in the room  
with a handful of thin clients.  The scanner is plugged into the  
server itself, and the thin clients can use it just fine.

That may not help much in your situation, but it's what we do here.
