Scanning fails with MX472 and Windows 10

[nopunin10did]

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 on my home PC.

I downloaded the most recent drivers for the MX472 multifunction device.

I received no errors during setup and was able to print a test page.  The device is hooked up to my machine via LAN.

However, any attempt to scan an image returns the following error:

I have attempted to uninstall the scanner driver, then reinstall it.

I have attempted to turn off and on the printer.

I have rebooted Windows.

Nothing makes a difference.

Please let me know what I can do to fix this issue.
