X5070 is my printer and the scaner mode does not work ... it says "can't retrieve application list" how do I fix it ?

Check to make sure you have all the appropriate drivers and software installed on your pc; including windows updates. You can also try re-installing the printer.

A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Simply disconnect the printer from your computer (if USB connected)> reboot your pc > unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer (if USB connected). Then try to print again once the computer fully recognizes the USB connection or when the WiFi light on the printer turns solid green (if WiFi connected.).

If that doesn't help, try the steps below:

1. Disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer from your computer.
2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
3. Delete the Lexmark print object.
4. Reboot computer.
5. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - black box where the power cord is plugged into on the back of the printer, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
6. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to the computer.
7. Wait until your computer fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list, try to print a document to verify that the problem is fixed.

It could be a slight communication problem. Try to unplug the printer from your computer. Reboot your computer. Unplug and replug the printer into the power outlet to reset. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer. Try to scan again.
You can also try to update your printer software. The Lexmark X5070 driver can downloaded and installed by visiting the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/mqHzMk. Select your operating system, download and execute the file.

Were you able to scan to your Windows 7 before? If yes, it could be just a slight communication problem. Disconnect your printer from your computer. Reboot your computer. Unplug and replug your printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect your printer to the computer. Doing this usually fixes minor communication issues. Try to scan again.

i had same issue,even after updating drivers from web site.

I solved it by downloading adobe reader,rebooting pc,then(and this is very important)unplugging the printer,AND the router for about 1min.

When i started the scan again,i selected the "scan to adobe reader"option.It all works fine,im thinking of leaving the printer unplugged from the mains till i use it,and the wireless router of course.I have a lexmark all in one x4690.

Have you correctly set the page size to 4 X 6?

Are you using the printer in stand-alone mode or are you printing from an application?

Don

Microsoft Paint ----> 'File' ------> 'From scanner or camera' (when in scan mode on printer). Just tried this and it really works.

No its seem to be some software clashed problem! Try to remove your old software and then try to clean registry and then install again then it should work!
