Hello all. I just hooked up a my dell printer, fax, scanner up to our wireless network. Is there any way I can still scan even though it is wireless. When I try right now it says the port is disabled, I guess because everything is wireless. Any ideas?

Thanks

I can only assume that the scanner function needs to go through USB. You may have to get a USB print server to remedy this. Otherwise I am not too familiar with Dell Printers, other than I think they are actually Lexmarks.
 
The reason the printer is hooked up through the wireless print server is bc it is in my office and everyone in the office prints to it. I still would like to use the scan function on the printer. I have all of the scan/printer software on my computer but being wireless now, I dont guess there is a way to use the scan function, right?
