MX492 Will NOT WiFi Scan with IJ Scan Utility

[toonces]

We are using a MX492 and for printing on the local home WiFi network it works fine. The PC on the network sees it and prints documents. For scanning we are NOT able to use the IJ Scan Utility because the IJ Scan Utility gives us an error that there is a connection problem - no USB connections. We are able to scan with the MX492 using the Windows 10 Scan function. The scanner will correctly scan and save the PDF to the PC Pictures folder thus we know that the PC "sees" the scanner and can use it. We need advice on how to use the IJ Scan Utility for scanning. Thank you.

Hi toonces,

When you open IJ Scan Utility, is the printer listed as MX490 series or MX490 series Network?

If the printer is listed as MX490 series, please click on the name and a drop-down menu will appear. In that drop down menu, please select MX490 series network and then try to scan again.

Many thanks for the response. In the drop down, we have only one choice MX490 Series. MX490 Series Network is NOT listed. How do we add that option in the drop down menu? Is there another driver that we need? If yes, please provide URL. 

Thank you.
