Tried both pieces of advice. Unfortunately no application seems to see the scanner in the 'all in one' and when 'opening scanner' it shows 'no scanner conected'. The printer function works ok.
Shall I dump my old printer and get a new one just because I have switched to iMAC?

Sep 29, 2013 5:06 AM in response to Ricardocabotby Rudegar,you say no application
the way I normally scan is that I go into system preferences
click print & scan
there on the lidt of pritners he show my samsung all in one laser pritner thingy
then I click on the Scan in the right tabcontrol click open Scanner
that bring up what I assume to be a samsung gui dialog where I can preview and set dpi and the likes
then when I click scan it scan and send the image to Preview (the app called priview)
have you tried it that way rather then trying to access the scanner from other apps ?
back in the day scanners used a system called TWAIN which was not IP network related prob not even usb
some old apps or strange apps could still be looking for a wired system using that interface

According to the VueScan website your scanner is supported with VueScan, but you need to go and download the Lexmark Image capture software from the Lexmark website, first.
