I have had a PSC 750 for many years and it has been the best printer I have ever had. Suddenly it locks up when attempting to scan via windows (7) fax and scan. It used to work just fine. Now on trying to scan it starts, the scan light bar moves perhaps 50mm and stops, it stays alight, and a message appears saying "an error occurred while setting scanner properties. If another program is scanning, please wait for it to complete and try again."
Once I get this I can do nothing more. The green power light blinks, the display on the printer says "scanning original" but there is no way out of this. Pressing the power button dopes nothing and the unit has to have the mains power removed and a full reset done.
But ignoring the scanning via windows, everything else works, it prints, it copies black and colour via the printer controls. Everything else is fine. I have disassembled the scanner, cleaned the bar, checked everything. It just fails when I try to scan.
Help because I really want to keep this printer.
