Thanks for your reply.
"... why don't you use the software that comes with the Lexmark printer?"
I am. When I connect to the printer using my pc by entering the printers'
inTRAnet IP address into IE8, the printer feeds back an interface. In that
interface thats displayed by IE8 on my pc, I have to first set up the job using
that interface and then go to the printer and scan.
There is an option to be able to go directly to the scanner, and scan
the job into my pc, or email it to me, but this is an old scanner system and
I haven't yet been able to figure out how to do this. The printer is complex
and its setup options are not intuitive and there's no help to mention.
That said, I've been dealing with starting the job from the pc first, and
would like the issue I'm having solved.
Were you able to open and see the attached document to my post?
To answer
your question, frankly, I don't know if the problem I'm
having is with Java, my pc, the scanner-printer, or a combination.
I'm lead to believe that because its the Java applet window that
shows the path to the scanned image, that the problem is with
Java somewhere. But I don't want to commit to that diagnosis.
The Java applet window, after the image is scanned, will display
the path to location of that scan on my pc that I entered when
I created the job on my pc using the printers interface in IE8.
In years past, I could then click the "Launch" button thats inside
the Java applet window, and the image would appear in Windows
Picture and Fax Viewer.
Now, when I click the "Launch" button, I get an error in the
title bar of the Java applet window, which merely says,
"Image Received - Error launching"
The title bar of the Java applet changes from "Waiting for Image,"
which pops up after I've created the job, to, "Image Received,"
after I did the scan, to "Image Received - Error launching,"
after I click its "Launch" button in an attempt to view the
scan immediately.
I hope I've given you a clearer picture of whats going on and
that you have a suggestion that may help solve this issue
And please let me know if you were able to open the attachment
to my original post, and if so, did it make any sense to you?
Thanks!
