Update your scanner drivers, call the company that made it, throw it out your window, etc

Get your scanner model number, go to the manufacturers website, type it in, and get the latest driver for your scanner.

If you are reading this, it means I have posted. Whether or not I am still posting, this has left its mark, for many years to come.

Yea, just use google to find the latest drivers for your scanner type, or go to their website and see if they host them. But don't rule out the possibility that your scanner could also be old and broken.

I spend 3 hours of downloading HP drivers lately, it downloaded at 2 KB/S
and my internet speed is 30 MB/S, so I can recommend calling the manufacturers first if they're HP.

you could
1.) Update it.
2.) Turn it off, then turn it back on (that ALWAYS works for me.) You may have to do this more than once.
3.) Instead of asking newgrounds, google your problem?
4.) Smash this one and buy a new one.
