Document Scanning with Nerwork Printer

[Dukey]

I am using Win Vista and Office 2007. I have a network printer/scanner.
The network printer works ok. When I try to use MS Office Document Scanning,
and I select Scanner, I get the drop down box but there is no option for me
to select the network scanner/printer. What do I need to do so I can select
the scanner? Thanks

More information please. Type, brand of printer/scanner and how attached,
using Twain drivers or something else? Type of network (domain/peer to
peer)?

The make and model of the printer would be useful.
Currently, the software package that came with the multifunction device must
include
software & drivers to support the scanner over a network. By default,
windows does not have the necessary
support built in.
Even with the Mfrs software, windows fax & scan may still not support
network scanning and fax.

My printer/fax is Brothers MFC420CN. It is a peer to peer network. I tried
using the printer/fax software but it did not recognized any of the files to
install.

According to Brother spec sheet it doesnt, out of the box, support Vista,
but have you downloaded the latest drivers from Brother site, together with
firmware?
