Windows 10: Lexmark scan installation

I have a new Lexmark MC3224dwe printer. I installed it by adding a device which works fine and it automatically installed a Microsoft driver

and appears correctly in printers. In device manager the printer appears as Microsoft IPP class driver.

My problem is that I can't install the scanner so that it works with Microsoft scan. At present in Device manager it doesn't appear in the imaging devices. Any suggestions please?

I don't want to use the Lexmark software, Microsoft one is better.

Problem Installing Lexmark Pro715 Scanner Functionality

Hi Jag,

Let's take a look at some things to know how we can fix the problem with your Lexmark Pro. Kindly answer the following questions:

• How did you download the drivers on the computer?
• Do you have the installation disk for your Lexmark Pro?
• Do you see the Lexmark scanner in Device Manager?

Follow these steps to check if the scanner driver has been installed:

• Right-click on the Windows icon on your home screen.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Imaging devices.

Check whether Lexmark appears under your Imaging devices, and if there are any errors with the driver.

You can also run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter available in Control Panel. Here's how you can do it:

• Click on Start.
• Type Troubleshooting then press Enter.
• On the left panel, click View all.
• Select Hardware and Devices.

Allow the troubleshooter to run. It will scan for errors and automatically fix them for you.

Let us know the outcome.

 

Lexmark 4600 won't scan to computer after windows 10 upgrade

Since I upgraded to windows 10 when I try to scan to my computer it scans to paint instead. Lexmark no longer supports this printer and suggest updating drivers to windows 8.1 which I did. It didn't help. Do I really need to get a new printer like lexmark
says?

 

How to get Windows 10 to find & retain a Lexmark CS310 printer?


Hello.

Windows 10 will not find my Lexmark CS310 printer that I want to use as the default printer.

After first installing Win 10, It found the printer and let me set it as the default. The printer was repeated in the list of printers in this way:
Lexmark CS310
Lexmark CS310 (Copy 1)

When I deleted the "Copy 1" listing, Win 10 removed *both* listings for the printer and now cannot find it. I have searched in various ways including the one about my printer is old, but all to no avail.

I can still print using that printer, but it will not retain it as the default (so I have to manually select it each time) and will not add it to the list of printers.

I read the thread "Turn On or Off Let Windows 10 Manage Default Printer in Settings" then checked my settings and saw that "Let Windows manage my default printer" is selected, but the computer does not retain the Lexmark CS310 printer after printing with that printer and cannot find it when I search for the printer.

Thanks for any suggestions.
