Windows 10: Format for scanning pictures from scanner has changed

I used PSP 7 for years to scan hundreds of pictures from my "all in one" Brother laser printer. I've always used the same steps to scan, click on import-twain-acquire, and the picture would show up. Now when I take these same steps that worked so well, I get a screen that says photo, and if I click on it to start the scan, I get a very small picture. At the top of this screen, it shows this must be coming from my Brother printer/scanner. I've checked all the settings I could find in my PSP 9. and also my printer, and can't find a way to eliminate that step. Any suggestions ? I've attached 2 p

Windows Fax and Scan - changing scanner

Thanks, Andre, and thanks for the screenshots. I deleted all my scanners except one (the
Epson WF-7720 MFC). Windows Fax & Scan still tried to use another scanner, even though it was no longer showing on the Windows 10 Printers & Scanners screen nor the Device manager > Printers list. I found that scanner
hiding in Device Manager > Imaging Devices and deleted it there.

Now when I try to start a scan, Windows Fax and Scan says "No scanners were detected..." Same error message when I use Ethan's Tools > Scan Settings suggestion. After that
error message there is no screen to change/choose a scanner. Arghh.

Note that I can use the Epson scanner just fine with most other software:

• Corel PaintShop Pro X9 [32 bit] File > Import > From Scanner or Camera says "There appears to be no camera, scanner...present..."
• Corel PaintShop Pro X9 [32 bit] File > Import > TWAIN source > Select Source lists all my scanners (and a webcam and I can select my Epson and scan OK.
• Corel PaintShop Pro X9 [64 bit] File > Import > From Scanner or Camera says "There appears to be no camera, scanner...present..."
• Corel PaintShop Pro X9 [64 bit] File > Import > TWAIN source > Select Source lists nothing. Apparently, that is a known bug in the 64 bit version. Maybe that is
  a clue why Windows Fax and Scan can't see my scanner?
• Epson Scan 2 works (it should; it came with the Epson WF-7720 MFC). Strangely, it lists two scanners: "Epson WF-7710/7720 Series(Network 01)" and "Epson
  WF-7710/7720 Series(Network 02)".
• NAPS2 ("Not Another PDF Scanner") has a Profiles button that shows my Epson scanner and scans OK. Interestingly, when I use that Profiles button to add a new scanner and select WIA driver, nothing is listed. When I
  select TWAIN Driver, I see the Windows Select Source screen that lists all my scanners (and a webcam (just like PaintShop Pro above). Maybe Windows Fax and Scan only sees WIA devices and not TWAIN devices??

 

Scanning old pictures

There should not be any such limit.

You may only need to "refresh" the window in which you are looking at the image files. Either press F5 (or click View > Refresh) or close and then re-open Windows Explorer.

If refreshing the window doesn't help ....

• Did you get any error message? If so, please provide the complete text of the message.

• Please describe step-by-step, how you are scanning the pictures. Include the make and model of your scanner.
