So, I own a printer (a PIXMA MP160) which also doubles as a scanner.
While printing works perfectly, scanning doesn't. Pushing the "SCAN" button on the printer does nothing, and using the included program "OmniPage 3 SE" throws up an error (Cannot communicate with the scanner driver) when trying to scan, and MP Navigator gives a similar result.
Because the Driver CD is lost somewhere in the house, I had to find the driver on the Canon website.
After checking it was the correct version, I installed it and rebooted. Still, nothing changed.
It installed correctly, because the printing still worked, but the scanner still doesn't.
Some people say that it doesn't work because I had to use it somewhat intensively in the past.
What should I do now?
