I cannot get the scanner working with my iMac. It is a lexmark 4350 'all in one' printer. The printer works but the scanner doesn't.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

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
