Try using the Lexmark Printer Home when scanning. If you have a PC, to access it click on Start > All Programs > Lexmark > Printer Home. You can scan to a .jpeg, PDF or .doc.

If you're scanning from the control panel of your printer and you're getting an error message, "Cannot Retrieve Application List", most probably your firewall is blocking your printer from downloading the applications. You might want to add the Lexmark files in the exception of your firewall. Click on the link on how to add exceptions to your firewall.

If you're trying to scan to email (email client), try to check this link: http://bit.ly/k0w0Hp

    This is a workaround but does not resolve the issue. When you try to scan from the printer's control panel, it says "downloading application list" - not "cannot retrieve..." as you describe. It attempts to download something and then eventually forfeits the operation. No firewall settings are in place, and nothing has been changed on the printer or computer since it last was working.

    Just reinstall the driver if you're scanning from the computer. Go tohttp://bit.ly/Y9LyWL to download an updated driver.
