Error [PXVLib]: Unable to start scanning process

Post by huskereurocat »

After a couple of months of using this program and it working just fine, I've now started getting the above error every time that I try to scan something. I've completely rebooted the entire system and also did an update and since there was a update available I updated to version 10.5.2, build 395. I am running this on W11 Pro. I don't know what to do since I can't scan anything anymore. Can someone help me with this?

Hello huskereurocat,

Welcome to our forums.
Sometimes windows will do silent updates as well (e.g. of the driver for your scanner), so can you please try to remove and reinstall the scanner's drivers completely (using the latest package you can find on the device manufacturer's website) and let us know if that helps?

Kind regards,
Stefan

That was the answer. The universal driver for my Epson printer was updated a couple of months ago, so I installed that one. Works great again!!!!

Thanks
