1358703	2013-11-04 04:47:00	Got one of the new Vodafone stations www.vodafone.co.nz Seems to go ok. Got a multifunction printer connected to it by USB. Can print to it wirelessly from almost anything. Today I wanted to scan & email a document. Um ???? Any ideas?	Driftwood (5551)

Then you've got the option of using it wirelessly or with a cable. Once you select one, connect the printer, it installs the drivers. Then you set the wireless up. Obviously the printer and whatever you're going to print from needs wireless	Speedy Gonzales (78)

It just comes up with :The connection has failed" I have tried on an xp system & a win7. As stated in my first post I can already print to this device.	Driftwood (5551)

If you notice on the Advertising it says "Share a printer" nothing about sharing a scanner. Try this: on W7, click start, type in Windows fax Select Windows fax and scan from the options. When it opens select new Scan, see if it detects the scanner. If not you can always try PaperScan-Free (www.softpedia.com) - That will sometimes allow you to scan over a LAN where the default windows software wont. Under "devices" you may have to play about with different options as the Default TWAIN drivers only work on some scanners.	wainuitech (129)
