Why doesn't wireless scanning work if initiated from the PC or from the MF212w printer?

My PC with windows 10 OS, D-link wireless modum router and the Canon Mf212w has been succesfully installed with the latest drivers. Printing and scanning works perfectly with the USB cable connected. Wireless printing works perfectly, but scanner cant seem to connect to the PC and vics versa: When pressing the menu scan setting: => Sortcut key setting => REGISTER => scan > PC1 => Network connection => connnect to computer The dialog returns to Connect to computer and eventually indicates an error If the wireless scanning is initiated from the PC using Toolbox 4.9 the message was "scanner not connected"

Multi-function Samsung CLX-3175 doesn't scan to PC

I had the same issue with Windows 7 64 bit.I managed to solve it by doing the following
1. Locate the scan2pc.exe program in C:\Windows\twain_32\Samsung\CLX3170 2. Right-click/properties - Compatibility tab. 3.Set compatibility to win xp. Set "Run as Administrator"
I also added the scan2pc.exe to the firewall allowed programs (did that for scanmgr.exe as well, but I don't think I needed to).
Works great now!
Good luck!!

My wireless hp says router cannot find host name

Double check your physical connection. It should be this way

Modem > connected to Internet Port of the router
PC > connected to port 1
Laptop > can be wireless

Now you must power cycle your router and modem. Turn off router first then modem. Wait for 30 seconds. Power on modem first, then the router. You must configure the wireless settings on your laptop it doesn't connect automatically.

Cnnecting to cable modum

To access your router you should goto http://192.168.0.1 - It should explain in the manual.

You may have to set the router in Cable Modem mode as it may be in DSL mode now.

I hope this may help.

ALSO! There should be a little hole in the back that you can put the tip of a pen into to press a button and it will reset the router back to factor defaults. Default settings would be cable modem mode. Be sure to have the router powered on and press the button down for 10 secs and notice the lights on the router should flash. After that power down the router, by unplugging the power and the plug it back in. It should be set back to factory defaults.
