| | No Wireless connection in "Scanners and Cameras" I have a Lexmark X6570 All in One. I use the wireless capability, however when I go to Scanners and Cameras it is not being recognized as Microsoft has set this up to use only physical attachments to their LPT and Com Ports. Does anyone know of a work around for this and since I am still using WinXP did Microsoft correct this in Vista?? Since my Scanner/Printer is in another room I am unable to Scan from this computer, however I can use the Print function just fine with the wireless connection. It will not detect the wireless in Scanners and Cameras...Need some type of work-a-round here folks... -- Zeus |

| | Re: No Wireless connection in "Scanners and Cameras" Yes the owners manual states the scanner is wireless also, in fact, I can manually scan from the scanner to my computer wirelessly but I can't use any of my computers programs, for instance I use paperport scansoft quite often, I can print from the program but the program can't find the scanner driver and again it doesn't show up in Scanners and Cameras in Control Panel, although I was able to add an imaging device, my printer, to scanners and cameras but it still will not pick up through any of my programs. Again I mainly use my Paperport Scansoft and Adobe they will not locate my scanner drivers, at least that's what I'm guessing and I've reinstalled the software more than once..any ideas now that you know this??? I hope so because I'll have to rearrange my AIO... -- Deja vue....

Interestingly, (but not satisfying), plugging into USB added it as separate instance. When connected by USB, both wired and wireless instance of scanner appear. When USB unplugged, both disappear.
