Hi
I just bought the above multi printer and am very pleased with it, apart from I can't get it to scan to the laptop unless it is usb connected. All the other functions work fine, and it is connected and prints via wifi ok. Luckily I do have a usb cable and with this I have been happily archiving family photos, but it a wee bit of a pain in the bum to have to sit near the printer to do this. I have read the manual and it doesn't mention having to use the cable.(the LCD screen on on the printer tells you to USB connect.)
Does anybody have this model, am I doing anything wrong?
Ta!:)

Does the printer come with a solution centre type thing, or centrally controlled piece of software? What happens if you try and tell it to scan using that over the wireless?
Sorry Daedroth I didn't explain fully, The sockets by the laptop (knackered battery) are full and the printer is across the room at another socket.
Does that make sense? ...Probably not a lot. Anyway, DS to the rescue, thanks again.:)
