Alright, I have a scanner/printer/otherstuff-er and I have had it for forever but don't know how to use it to scan.

if I place an image on paper under the thing and close it and hit the SCAN button, it just copies and prints it

I want to get the image on the comp as a file... Any help?

I wanna show ppl on AG my film Photography

Hmm, are you sure that it's connected to the computer correctly? xP You probably do, just make sure all the cords are plugged in right.

That's all the assistance I can give though, without actually being there. I'm bad at walking people through things.

There are 2 cords, one goes in the wall, one in the computer, that's what I got and they're plugged in...

Well, on mine I have to manually select scan on a menu being displayed on a little screen on the printer/scanner thing a ma jig. When I select scan I then select the option scan to, it then gives me the available applications I can use and I choose MS Paint.

It also could be the fact that you haven't downloaded the software on your computer to use the scan function.

Hmm, did you make sure to install the printer software in your computer? You should have gotten a CD with the printer.

You may be able to find the driver online as well, if it isn't installed. Just type in the model of your printer and then driver.
