There is a set procedure to install the hardware. If that procedure is deviated from then such problems can occur. The drivers should be installed with the device disconnected. Reboot and then connect the device. Allow Windows to detect the device and load its drivers. Then only should you start using it.

I have a Lexmark 2600 all in one. When I changed the black ink #14 I got a realign message, printed the alignment page but get no response when I push scan button on machine. I can scan from the computer...

1. The software that came with the printer must be installed for the scan button, on the printer,to work. The software also has to be running.
2. If this is the case, and the scan button on the printer is the only thing not responding and it is still not working, then uninstall the printer software and reinstall follow the directions given with the printer. This usually intails:
Power on the scanner, un-plug the USB cable from it and begin a fresh install.

You will re-connect the USB only when the program tells you and not before. Let it finish.

REBOOT computer and window will find the new hardware.

Only do this if you already tried the "1." step first. Sometimes reinstalling the print software will resolve this issue.

My canon mp198 cannot scan a document but it can

hi Scanning has nothing to do with the black ink or whatever. Just remove the USB cable from the Canon, power it on and re-install the software.

You will re-connect the USB to the Canon only when the software askes you. REBOOT after the installation and windows will find the new hardware.

Open the scnning software that was just installed and you are set. The scanner is operated from the software only.

I had installed my hp psc 1510 on my last laptop, which ran XP. When I replaced it, my new computer ran Vista. When I hooked up my printer to the new computer it just downloaded the software automatically....

You have not installed the scan drivers. Go to your control panel, double click on add hardware, and run through the wizzard cycle. It should tell you exactly what you require, if it is not there, else it will just install it and you will be OK.
