The best forum to post this in, is the Peripherals/Printers Forum, I am moving the thread to it.

Hi ColemanCreative

Technical devices can seem complex initially; once we master them it’s a cake walk. I will assist and guide you to get to resolution.

There are a set of Services which has to be started. These are required by the printer to scan the documents from the computer.

Perform the steps below and ensure that the services required are started:

1. Press the “Windows + R” to launch the run window.
2. Type “Services.msc” in the run window and hit the Enter key.

Right click each service mentioned below, click properties. Set the startup type as “Automatic” from the drop down menu and click “Start”. Please click “Apply” to save the changes.

The services to be enabled are:

• Human Interface Devices (HID).
• Printer Spooler.
• RPC (Remote Procedure Call).
• RPC Locator (Remote Procedure Call Locator).
• Windows image acquisition (WIA).
• Windows Installer.

After starting the services, restart the computer and try to print from the computer. If the problem still persists uninstall the printer drivers from the computer.

 Follow the steps to uninstall the printer drivers from the computer:

1. Click “Start”.
2. Select “Control Panel”.
3. Select “Add or Remove Program” (for windows xp operating system).
4. Select the printer model Dell 926 and uninstall it
5. Restart the computer for saving the changes.

These steps will uninstall the printer drivers.

Insert the printer driver’s cd for an Dell 964 printer and install the drivers in the computer.

If the cd is unavailable use the following steps to download the printer drivers.

Download the printer driver from the link below.

NOTE: Please do not connect the printer using the USB cable to the computer prior to installing the drivers. Please choose the right operating system from the list under operating system.

Please copy the above mentioned link, paste it in the address bar of the new internet explorer window.

1. Select the operating system of your computer from the list.
2. Save the file to the desktop.
3. Double-Click the downloaded file.
4. Click “Yes”, when the utility prompts to extract the files.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
6. Connect the printer using the USB cable when prompted.

Try Scanning the document from the computer and reply with results.

ColemanCreative,

Do you have the OCR Program installed?

Start, all programs, ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Sprint, ABBYY FineReader 6.0 Sprint

Did you Update list of applications to send scans to?

What virus program and firewall are you using?

Rick

Hi Rick,

See the comment to Nikhil.

My Virus Program is Microsoft Security Essentials.

My firewall is Microsoft Firewall.

The applications on my Dell All-In-One screen are:

ABBYY FineReader 6.0  Sprint Plus - Default

Microsoft Paint

Paint Shop Photo Album 5

Jasc Paint Shop Pro Studio

Microsoft Powerpoint

Microsoft Word

Notepad

Wordpad

Acrobat Elements

MSPUB

Photoshop Elements Editor

If I set it for Microsoft Paint, I can get it to Scan and Save a PDF document or photo to the Desktop.

Is there a program I should Add, or Remove, or Move Up in the list?

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help.

Gary

Gary,

Did you purchase Abbyy Plus or is it a trial version?

Hi Rick,

ABBYY FineReader 6.0  Sprint Plus came with the computer.  DELL loaded it.  It's on the printer's software disk.

Gary,

I used to own a Dell964 Printer and Abbyy Fine Reader Plus did not come with the printer and was not on the disk.
