Unfortunately you won't be able to see the most relevant newsgroup
from the portal you are probably using.

Try this one instead:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&lang=en&cr=us


E.g. open it and then find this post to your thread in it.


Of course if someone there replies to my post you will see
their answer here too.


Another alternative would be to use your spiffy new Windows Mail app.
To do that copy the following URL into an IE Address bar and press Enter:

news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...print_fax_scan


Good luck
