Good luck

1. go to My Computer
2. if you have already installed it, their should be a scan icon located their.
3. put your hard copy on the scanner then double click on the icon to scan.
4. a window will pop showing progress of scan.

If you are using a wireless connection, your scanner will not work.  I was told the printer does not have the capability to scan wirelessly....prints wirelessly, wont scan

This is the start of the fun with vista. I gives the error message "known compatibility issues" with any none MS software. It does give you the option to install anyway. Do this before plugging in the printer or vista will install it's own driver and it wont work.
the software will tell you when it is safe to plug in the printer.

you can get the vista driver @:
