My Lexmark printer will not retrieve application list!

SOURCE: scanning with my printer

Funny you just posted this yesterday and I had the same problem at the same time. (driver timb bomb?) Any way, the solution that worked for me was to: 1. Unplug the printer. 2. Uninstall the drivers. 3. Reboot the machine. 4. Go to the lexmark site and download the drivers. 5. Install the new drivers. Everything is working great now. It is nice to have simple solutions once in a while. :)

A problem occurs with your scan driver. You will need to reinstall it to correct the problem.

Another way to scan is to use the scanner option in your computer. Go to Control Panel. Double click the Scanners & Cameras icon. Feed your documents in the printer before starting the scan process.

Try it.
