The two items are directly related as far as I am concerned. If Windows could find VueScan, that would (at least to me) indicate that VueScan can find the printer put otherwise, if VueScan could find the printer, that would mean that Windows can find VueScan. I don't see anything confusing about both VueScan not finding the printer and Windows not finding VueScan. NAPS2 also works properly, having no problem finding the Brother TWAIN scanner.
Let us know.I have the latest 64-bit version of VueScan, as well as the latest drivers for the printer (checked the web site yesterday.) I don't want to reinstall the printer, as everything else involved with it works correctly, such as AllMyMovies finding and using it. And the latest version is 9.5.90 released 20 October 2017. Make sure you install/get the 64-bit version. If you've already got the latest version, try doing the same as for the printer drivers - uninstall/reinstall.īTW why do you need VueScan for that printer? And yes, I'm familiar with VueScan seeing I've had a copy since 2004. Also try running the latest version of VueScan (64-bit). If not try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer. With that, check to see if there are any newer printer drivers. You also state that Windows is telling you it can't see VueScan. You're saying VueScan is refusing to see your Brother Printer, which is running on Wi-Fi. That said, your post is somewhat confusing, but this is what I gather. I tried scanning through AllMyMovies, which scans covers for entering into entries in the catalog as does AllMyBooks scanner works there.Īny ideas?Make sure you install/get the 64-bit version. VueScan's author asked me to check mDNS and firewall mDNS is only used forMACs, according to the Brother software manual, and disabling Comodo firewall made no difference. When I open VueScan, it reports that it cannot find the scanner, and the Windows 10 apps module in Settings reports that VueScan is unavailable. The scanner is on a Brother MFC-9340CDW printer, running under WiFi.
VueScan worked until I installed Windows 10 Home 64-bit version 1709.
VueScan Scanner Software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux is where the software is found. I guess I will follow its suggestion to run a scan.Ī few minutes later: I found that Super had already removed the unidentified blocked item, so no scan needed. While deleting the 32bit VueScan, SuperAntispyware popped up a Real Time Protection Blocked Item Alert, complete, so to speak, with an empty box about what the program blocked is. I will take a longer look at NAPS2 sometime, to see if it will replace VueScan until such time as that program is updated, if ever. Thanks for the link to a program I had never heard about. I installed NAPS2, and quickly set up a profile and did a preview scan, using the Brother printer's TWAIN, which NAPS2 had no problem finding.
I suspect that the install error was because the program could not, while being installed, find the scanner.
Out of curiosity, I then downloaded its 32-bit version, which claimed that it could not install, but clicking on its desktop icon started it not surprisingly, that the same error as the 64-bit version. I tried three compatibility settings for VueScan, none of which worked.
