it is a physical brocken piece that supports scanner mechanism.
if you open that plate /scanner mechanism and if you drill that plastic sheet and try some manufactureed alluminium or metal projection and place it in the hole drilled by you and put washer and screew so that that supports ;the scanner mechanism and your scanner /printer works . the scanner mechanism may costs you around 3,000-00 rupees.
There is a lock that has been hit and has the scan lamp locked.
Where to look is on the botom of the scanner. Look in where you remove the copies, on the bottom of the scanner you will see the only green part there, it is about 2 inches long and a half inch wide.
Turn the machine off, reach in and push the latch full IN, toward the back of the machine, then pull it our toward you until it snaps into place fully forward, It may be a little tight with it against the lamp carriage, but once you get it latched forward it will return to normal.
That latch is easy to hit when you are removing your copies from the tray.
disconnect the printer from the computer and also unplug the power adapter of the printer , wait for 30 seconds and reconnect the power adapter and try to copy a document , if it works then there are no issues with the scanner.
if it still gives you the msg scanner busy. then click on start ----->click on RUN-----> type "control printers" click OK , right click on dell AIO 924 and then click "cancel all documents". restart the printer and then try scanning.
You can physically connect the printers to the server and share it from there
or
leave the printers connected to your computer and have the server connect to them via a Local Port which routes to your computer!!
To do the Create the local ports you'll need to 1.) share the printers on your pc
2.) Go to the server and go to printers in control panel
3.)Click on Add a new printer then next
4.)Select Local Printer connected to this computer; De-select Automatically Detect Printer
5.)Select Create new port and select Local Port
6.)In the enter a port name, enter the full network path to the printer i.e. \\your-pc-name\printer-share-name
click ok
7.) Select the drivers for that specific printer(if its not there click on have disk then browse to the drivers to install them)
8.) Continue through the installation until finish)
9.) Repeat steps for additional printers
Keep in mind that your computer still needs to be on!
You can check to see if your printer support a network card to make them fully network printer you can add them to the server this way and only the server would need to be on!
Or
you can also get a print server(Device that makes regular printers into network printers).
Now when it comes to the scanning, i don't know of any way to share a scanner with just windows alone, but there are third party software that allows you to do that Check out http://www.remote-scan.com/
There are also printers that sorta do the scanners sharing by automatically scanning and putting files in a designated area on the network!
Hope this was helpful
