I recently purchased a Netgear wireless print server. This installed and prints perfectly via my XP Pro machine. Problem is, I cannot scan documents, pictures, etc. In the printer properties, I have bi-directional communication enabled but two way communication between the two devices results in an error. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Most drivers for all-in-one printers do not support using the scan functions when the unit is connected as a network device.

The presumption is that you would only scan from a local scanner and not a network resource.

Check with the manufacture to see if scanning is supported when connected as a network device and what you may have to do to use it that way.
