I have one of those Xerox “WorkCentre” printers that’s a printer, copier, and scanner, all in one. Ever since I got it, I’ve been fighting with the buggy scanning driver that’s my only option. This morning I got hit by it again.

What happens is that it will start to scan – then simply stop. It won’t respond again. Once this happens the only way of getting it going again is to reboot, remove the driver, reinstall it, then reboot again. Just turning the computer off and on again isn’t good enough. It’s a real pain and I always wonder when my little game of scanning Russian Roulette is going to kick in and bite me.
