Unable to use network scanner

BACKGROUND:  I have a Win XP PC and Brother MFC-5440CN (network ready printer/scanner/fax/copier) with wire connections to my new WRT54GS (v6).  The WRT54GS replaced a D-link wired router.
PROBLEM:  I can't scan.  Printing works fine.
WHAT HAVE I TIRED:  Disabled  all software firewalls on PC but that didn't help.
REASON I'M ASKING HERE:  Printing and scanning both worked fine when I had both devices connected to my old D-link wired router, so I'm thinking the problem may be a setting with the WRT54GS.
QUESTION:  Suggestions?  Troubleshooting ideas?  Am I missing a setting on the WRT54GS? 
Thanks for you help.
Mike

try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer drivers.....if this doesn't work , seems to be a router issue...

  • Unable to install network Scanner - Cannon iR3045

    Hi,
    At my office I have a Canon Photocopier iR3045N, working over a windows server 2003 network (with its own IP).
    All went well when installing/configuring the printer and it's still working fine, the problem is to install the scanner, I just cant get it right.
    So far, I've searched for canon drivers and applications, tried to "run" all of them (always with the scanner in online mode) but no results, I'm unable/detect to add the scanner and no idea wether I've the correct drivers or not.
    Does anyone had experienced something like this? Please help.
    Thank you and best regards,
    Alex

  • Unable to use network home directories on a 2nd volume

    Hi,
    I am having a problem hosting network home directories on 10.4.4 server. Through the help of AFP 548's instructions I have had them working fine when the users folder is at /users however I would like the data stored on another hard drive for easy backups, etc. But when I set this up I just get the unable to connect due to an error message on the client machines.
    I have tried setting up another folder on the boot volume and that works fine so I think the settings I am inputting are correct but as soon as I select a folder off the boot drive I run into problems again.
    Any ideas?

    Any ideas?
    Yes, but it might also be helpful to know specifically what error message your users are getting when they try to log in.
    If you've correctly set up your share point and network mount record as criss describes but you're still having problems, it may be due to the length of the path to the user's home folder. For more information on that point, see KnowledgeBase article number 107695.
    One question: can your users find their home directories when they log in to the server using Go > Connect to Server in the Finder?

  • HT6114 Since installing mavericks I have been unable to use the scanner ( the rest of the wireless printer works as usual

    I did contact engineer when it happened prior to Xmas but at that time , apparently, the solution was not available.

    Applications/Image Capture might work.

  • Unable to use Scanner

    I am using Laserjet M1132MFP and unable to use my scanner, please share userguie/ traouble shooting to use this facility.
    I am using Windows 7 with 32 bit

    Welcome to the HP Forums Jai_Ag,
    I see by your post that you are unable to scan.
    I can help you with this issue.
    Here is the manual for the Laserjet Pro M1132.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 30-60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Make sure the USB cable is connected directly to the computer.
    Try another USB port. Some ports have more power then others.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it.
    Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    What happens when you try to scan? (error message, missing the software)
    Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
    Have a nice day!

  • I can't use my scanner in Elements 12

    I am unable to use my scanner with Elements 12.  I moved the Twain plug in from the Optional Plug-in folder to the Plug-in folder but no luck  Not in editor or organizer

    Thank you-I looked at that article when I first started this project several hours ago. I called the scanner company and their tech support suggested it.  I moved the Twain Plug in as was suggested but I can’t seem to get the scanner to be recognized by PSE.  Any other suggestions?

    You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.
    What troubleshooting steps have you tried.

  • 7.1 update to IPad now unable to use FaceTime and iMessage says could not sign in check your network connection.  Why am I seeing this when I am connected?

    7.1 update to IPad now unable to use FaceTime and iMessage says could not sign in check your network connection.  Why am I seeing this when I am connected?

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Accessing files created by network scanner using a another username

    Hello there,
    I have a HP network scanner sending files directly to a shared folder on my OSX 10.9.
    Since it uses SMB and OSX wants me to "save the password in a less secure way" in the sharing options panel I have been using a specific "Sharing-only" user account named "scanner", which is sharing its SMB password, instead of my "myself" administrator account.
    Files are saved to the shared folder but owned by "scanner". How can I open/manage them with "myself" administrator account too?
    I don't want, of course, to apply specific privileges everytime via the Info panel.
    Thanks
    L.

    Yeah, I get your point, this is right.
    Although my concern is not sniffing scanner login activity but SMB options panel says that my shared account password is "saved with less security", I guess it has to do with SMB less secure hashing than OSX and I wanted to avoid someone locally accessing this hash. Maybe it's a useless concern...
    Anyway I think I'm lacking some basic network file permissions knowledge, it should be possible to perform that.

  • N70 Unable to establish network connection using p...

    . . . but can browse the net using handset alone; PC suite can do other functions but OTA is not able to connect. This happened after I downloaded the latest PC Suite 7. Recommendation of FAQ/Help is to check connections settings (duh) and have cooperated with instructions. Nope, didnt work. Have tried:
    Uninstall; install of PC Suite to the letter 5x
    Reset phone to factory settings
    Use settings wizard to ensure proper internet settings
    Was recommended download usb cable driver - link is non existent
    Tested using a different N70 unit on my laptop - still no go (now doesnt that mean there is a software issue????)
    Most of the help desk tips at the call center are stop gap and rarely meant to go the distance assisting you (like when a blanket fix is recommended - go to service center to have phone software upgraded) or the standard spiel of "we'll put your case on record and we'll call you back in hours" and sometimes they do call back or not. So far in my case none of the tips have worked. I am about to reformat my pc, and if this doesnt work, then what can we say about the problem? Did we get a dud PC Suite, a lemon, a beta version?
    How then can I browse the net using my mobile as modem? I guess I am venting my frustrations here - but hey, may I challenge Nokia to find a fix for connectivity issues related to use of a Nokia Phone as a modem? Check out the discussions and you will find similar issues echoed all over. Or is Nokia just waiting for one of us indomitable tinkerers to find a solution and share it in these discussions?

    I REFORMATTED MY PC TO SEE IF IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MY LAPTOP SOFTWARE. I AM STILL UNABLE TO ESTABLISH NETWORK CONNECTION USING MY PHONE AS A MODEM. IT SAYS CHECK CONNECTION SETTINGS, BUT HOW FAR CAN YOU GO WITH THAT? THE CONNECTION SETTINGS ARE FINE! I CAN BROWSE THE NET USING THE HANDSET ALONE, SO WHAT GIVES? I CHALLENGE NOKIA TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

  • Using networked printer as scanner

    I have a printer attached to our Airport Extreme and I can print off my mac but was wondering if there was way of using the scanner feature within iPhoto?

    You can't use any scanner "within iPhoto". It's just not what the app does.
    You can use Image Capture with the Scanner (assuming you have the drivers for it, of course) and scan the pics to a folder on the desktop. Then import them to iPhoto.

  • Use Time Capsule as storage/scan location from a Toshiba Network Scanner

    We have a Time Capsule set up in our office and I have a network share on it that I would like to set up as the location for scans to go to from our Toshiba Networked Scanner/Printer.
    I don't know what I am doing wrong but it isn't working.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Is the TC setup with SMB names.. because I am pretty sure the Tosiba won't talk AFP.
    SMB names are short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric. Apple names.. have spaces and horrible characters like the apostrophe.
    Did you set a windows workgroup in the file sharing area?
    Also it can help to turn on guest account to give read and write access. See if those fix it.
