Hi, Thanks for the post. From your description, I understand that the error messages stating "scanner couldn't be enabled" and "scanning was canceled or terminated abnormally" are received when scanning or copying with the X73 printer on Windows Server 2000. In this case, I suggest we try the following method. 1. Turn off printer 2. Unplug from power strip; 3. Unplug USB and move to another port; 4. Plug in printer and turn on; 5. The system discovers new HW and installs driver, and requests to restart the computer. 6. Please first dont restart the computer and then check if the printer can work properly. Does it work? In addition, since the KB305521 mentioned by Lexmark is not a valid number, please confirm the manufacturer to get the correct fix number. If this problem continues, please collect the Setup&Performance version of MPSReport from Windows Server 2000. a. Download the MPS Report Tool from the following link: http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/b/1/bb139fcb-4aac-4fe5-a579-30b0bd915706/MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE b. After the download is complete, double-click this " MPSRPT_SETUPPerf.EXE" file. Then a CAB file will be generated called %COMPUTERNAME%_MPSReports.CAB. For example, if your computer name is "MyComputer", this CAB file will be named "MyComputer_MPSReports.CAB". c. Open My Computer, browse to the "%systemroot%\MPSReports\Setup\Logs\CAB" folder. You can find the CAB file above and please send it to me. Use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the file and then give me the download address. Hope this helps.
