I was curious if this was resolved? My 2050 will print and copy perfectly, but when I try and scan it gives me the message "Scanner communication cannot be established" etc. This is a brand new printer and it was working fine before I rebuilt my computer. Drivers are properly installed and reinstalled, hardware diagnosis came up clean. I'm not sure what to do at this point
