mf249dw scan problem

[djncanon]

I just bought a new mf249dw printer and hooked it into my LAN with 2 Windows 10 computers.  I can scan from one computer, but not the other!  I can print from either one.

Hi Pradip.

Have you confirmed that the scanner is selected for scanning in the MF Network Scan Utility by following the steps above?

If you have, then it is recommended that you uninstall and reinstall the drivers for a network connection. Please follow the steps below to uninstall the drivers:

* If you are using Windows 10, please type Control Panel in the search bar to access it.

1. On your computer, open [Control Panel] > [Devices and Printers].

2. Right-click on the MF240 Series printer, and then select [Remove Device].

3. Return to [Control Panel], and then select [Programs] or [Programs and Features] > [Uninstall a Program].

4. Double-click on the MF240 Series, and then follow the prompts to uninstall the files.

5. Restart the computer. 

Once the computer has restarted, please click the link below to download and reinstall the drivers:

After the installation is complete, please restart the computer. When the computer is back on, and at the desktop, please try to scan again.
