Oh yes, this might be of interest too: I used to have an HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-one as well, also connected to my home network via LAN. I can now scan from my laptop and, via the LAN, save the scanned documents in the correct folder on my Win 8 machine, but that's hardly an optimal solution. So the Xerox machine itself is not at fault here, but I never really thought that.
The result: it works flawlessly with Win7 圆4, as I suspected. I installed the Xerox scan drivers onto this machine too and tried it. The only other pc I have in the house is a Windows 7 圆4 laptop.
The solution with the unsigned drivers did not seem to work. I've been working like this for over a year now, but it's been getting on my nerves lately and I would like to see this resolved. For one, it only scans to PDF and it's also not handy if I want to add multiple scans into one document. This is an intermediate solution, which has its downsides. There used to not even be a driver for Windows 8.Ĭurrently, if I really need to scan, I scan straight from the Xerox device to a shared network folder. The driver is rather old also (May 2013). I've tried many times to re-install the driver. Keep in mind: this is the same pc and same OS it used to work on! It's since then that the scanner doesn't work any more. Then, for different reasons, I decided to do a clean OS install, formatted my harddrive and re-installed 8.1 from scratch. I then upgraded to 8 and later 8.1, and still it worked without a problem. Another silly thing: when I first bought this device, I was still using Windows 7. The stupid part is: printing works without a problem. I normally connect to this device via LAN (tried USB only this afternoon for the first time just to be sure - didn't work also, same error message). Doesn't matter if I connect through USB or via LAN, using a TWAIN or WIA driver (I can see the drivers and select them - but the "scan" button in Paperport remains greyed out). When I want to scan from the PC, using Scansoft Paperport 11, (or any other program for that matter, even MS Paint!) the program complains that it cannot make a connection with the scanner. I've been having this issue with my Xerox 6505 DN all-in-one, where it doesn't scan when commanded from PC.
