MF264dw Scan Utility Not Working

primrose — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 00:03:32 GMT

My MF264dw printer is working just fine, but the Scan Utility is not working. It states: "A scanner driver supporting this software is not installed. Install it and try again." I have tried pausing my firewall, reinstalling the driver, restarting the computer after downloading drivers, I installed every single possible driver and program on the page. Very frustrating.

If it helps, I am on Windows 10. USB connected.

Hello Primrose,

The scanner that the MFscan utility uses would install along with the MFDrivers (UFRII LT / Generic Plus PCL6 / Generic FAX / ScanGear) download from our website. If you have already tried installing it while your security software is off, it would mean something else is blocking the install or a service is not working properly. In this situation, you can try setting up the printer using a network connection to see if the drivers install or you can try contacting our support team at 1-800-652-2666. Our agents would be happy to check what issues might be coming up during the driver install.
