Lexmark scanner no longer functions

Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.2, my Lexmark X2650 scanner/printer doesn't work. (It's out of ink and I haven't used it as a printer for years, so I don't know if the printing function is also not working.) When I try to scan something, I just get this message: "The scan operation is canceled." I have the latest driver for this device. Any suggestions?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x), 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

Well I'll be ******. Thank you Galigia! The old Snow Leopard driver worked on Yosemite.


I deleted the previous preferences pane associated with the lexmark app first just in case old driver wouldn't install over the newer driver... no idea if I had to just felt right to do it.


I guess only thing to remember is to NOT UPDATE Lexmark anything if ever offered by App Store after doing this


THANK YOU! Hated to replace otherwise perfectly functioning machine. Will never buy Lexmark again.
