Can't scan or copy but CAN print following permissions repair on OS 10.4.11

I have a Lexmark X1180 and am trying to run it on my mac using OS 10.4.11. Initially I could not print, but I could scan or copy to the computer (but not print out the scan or copy).
Having researched on the Apple discussion forum I found that this was a typical problem following the OS 10.4.11 update, and I followed the recommendation of repairing permissions on my Mac. I did this, and now I CAN print but I CANNOT scan or copy. When I try to scan or copy by going into the Lexmark all in one centre it says:
"Unable to communicate with scanner.
Be sure the device is connected to the computer and powered on."
Please can you give me a work around for this? I know that this printer is not technically compatible with OS 10.4.11 but I HAVE managed to get all of the functions of the printer working with this OS but just not both at the same time!
Please can you help? I have spent hours on this.
Thanks
Jo

Hi Jo,
Been hoping an exprt would drop in, but I guess not!
I'd see if you might have Twain driver that is interfering.

  • Can not scan from computer, but can print

    Since a few weeks I'm not able to scan anymore from my computer using HP Scan. I still can print from my computer. It doesn't matter if my computer is connected to my network by Wifi or by wire. My printer is connected to the network by wire. 
    Scanning wasn't a problem until some weeks ago. I don't know what change caused this situation.
    The message that is displayed on the screen of my computer says 'HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw-AirPrint is is not available ...'. The reference to Airprint puzzles me. 
    Does anyone recognize this situation and / or has a solution?
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for providing the screen shots Gvmdh_Hbl.
    It still doesn't look like the full driver is installed for the printer. Your missing the Print and Scan tab on the Printers and Scanners window.
    Here is a screen shot of what it should look like.
    Repair the Disk Permissions and Reset the the Printing System to see if it helps.
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer..
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
    If you are still having issues, I would uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

  • HP Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M177fw can't scan or copy

    I can not scan or copy. The printer is just showing a message on the display of "calibrating" I have not had any paper jams or changed any toners. I tried a hard reset to see if that would resolve the issue but it did not. I have the printer connected wirelessly. I have only had the unit for 2 weeks. 

    Hey @2stressed,
    Unfortunately, the 'calibrating' error state that you have on your printer is a hardware issue. Therefore, any software troubleshooting (such as uninstalling and reinstalling) will have no impact on this issue.
    At this time we have exhausted the support options available over the forums. I would strongly recommend that you contact our Technical Support queue by phone to explore hardware replacement options.
    HP Technical Support can be reached at: 800-474-6836.
    If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

    When you speak with the phone support agent please advise them of all the troubleshooting steps you have completed and the results of those steps.
    It has been a pleasure working with you. I wish you luck going forward with this!

  • I can't scan a document in my printer and have it open in Reader like before

    can't scan a document in my printer and have it come up in the adobe acrobat reader like it did before my last update...can anyopne suggest a solution...have been on hold with adobe for 46 minutes.

    Hi lostinma,
    Are you scanning and then saving to PDF with your scanning software? What happens when you try to open the PDF in Reader? Do you get an error message?
    Reader doesn't allow you to create PDFs, so you wouldn't be able to scan directly into Reader.
    Best,

    How can I scan a photograph from the printer and place it in i photo?

    Scan the document as you normally would.
    Click Save and look for a format or option to allow you to save as a JPEG file. (The normal format is probably set to PDF)
    Seve to your desktop location or to a scanned items folder if you normally scan to that desitnation
    Drag the JPEG file onto the iPhoto icon on the dock and release the mouse key
    Once you have imported the image into iPhoto, you can delete the file on your desktop or in the scanned items folder if you prefer

  • HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

    I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

    The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.

    It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right click context menu while trying to save an image.
    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions
    See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    *A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (<i>Site Identification</i> icon) on the left side of the location bar.
    *A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
    *Open the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Page Info" window.
    *Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

  • How can you change your line access selection?  I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

        DIVAB71,
    Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

    I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3. I used to be able to text them with no problem. The only difference I can think is that this problem may have started since I downloaded the OS I am using now

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
    See [[Menu bar is missing]]
    Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
