After the KB5035942 Windows update, five of these printers all lost the ability to scan, with error messages saying that the scanner could not be found. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software to no avail. However, after doing a system restore, the scanner worked again. Granted, that will only fix it until the update gets reinstalled. If there is a real fix, I'd love to hear it.

The update from Microsoft did away with the entire driver set but only brought in the printer driver. I would regularly lose the NVidia CUDA tools as Microsoft's drivers did not think those were important.
The full feature drivers are here
there are Administrator tool kits there to allow administrators to update all printers remotely.
