what do you recommend if the old HP-UX server cannot be kept around for recoveries because the company does not want to pay maintenance - but the company also cannot be in a position where a file cannot be recovered? In other words the requirement is to be able to scan in all the tapes so that they are recorded in the media database of the windows server and recoveries of the existing backup data can be performed from the new windows server.

  Is is possible to use the scanner command to scan in a tape to a windows 
networker server when the tape was created on on a HP-UX backup server?

Yes it is. OTF is platform independent.
