how to scan from printer to computer windows 7

You must restart back to normal mode before you will be able to install the printer again.Ħ) Now type Control Panel in Start Search, open CP, choose Icon View.

If you get a message about access denied or the printer being in use and you cannot find the driver or any installed program that would account for this, you may restart the computer in a diagnostic startup and then use the printui command to remove the driver package(s). If it isn't actually proceeding to scan from the printer to the PC then that's another issue, best resolved by reinstalling the printer software which always works, saves time and lasts longer:ġ) Power up the printer, if wired unplug it's USB cable from PC.Ģ) Go to Settings>Apps>Apps and Features to find and Uninstall the printer software.ģ) Next copy and paste in Start search box: printui /s /t2 (Note that there is one space before each forward slash).Ĥ) Right click result to Run as Administrator.ĥ) Open the Print Server properties, Remove the printer’s drivers for this printer and for any other printers you don't use presently. If not you can check in the User Pictures or Documents folders for a Scan file or folder. But it should open the scan on the desktop for most printers. If you started the Scan from your printer top and it offered to scan it to the PC then we assume it's working correctly to do that.
