I am consistently getting "Scan to Computer currently disabled".  And it would typically go from disabled for a few minutes and go back to ENABLED.  However, for the past week it's been disabled and I cannot fix the problem.  Why is my Scan Doctor not recognizing my "Scan to Computer disabled" problem.
