My MP260 printer is connected to my new PC with W8. It prints a document, but when I go to the 'New scan' option, it says it can't find a scanner.

I have this problem and my only solution is to print to a USB stick or memory card and then access the scanned image from there. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software countless times and it did not work.
