thanks for that. Have tried it, but seems the default is a .jpg format. The panel on the printer doesn't seem to allow you to choose any other such as word. Is this 'normal' too when set up with wireless? so, no other way to use the full functionality except to hardwire then?

just tried it, it shows the scanning progress screen, then shows my folders and the save as query. Doesn't open up the all-in-one.

yes, think yr right as i recall seeing it in working order when i first reloaded it. That's why i was curious as to why i couldn't use it when i set up wireless. Oh well, i'll just have to get off my but and use the desktop upstairs now and again when i want to scan something particular! Thanks for your help.
