First, make sure that the firmware of your printer is up to date. Just go to http://bit.ly/PZaAmK to download the firmware update.

If the firmware update doesn't help, then it's a driver problem. Just uninstall the Lexmark driver and download an updated driver online: http://bit.ly/YHKqWC. Just choose the operating system of your computer.

You can also scan using our Lexmark Printer Home. To access that, on your computer, click on Start > All Programs > Lexmark > Lexmark Printer Home > Scan.
