just wanted to say thanks for your instructions which were very clear re the printer driver installation, but do you have equivalent instructions to install the latest M2040dn scanner driver? I went through the same steps as you set out for the printer driver, but when I got to your step 8 (for a USB port installation), it didn’t give me an “express installation” option , just a “custom installation” or an uninstall and I wasn’t sure what to do. Thanks again
No, the same steps and the same driver won’t work for the scanner installation. You’ll have to apply the scanner installation dedicated steps. You will have to install it manually. Here’s how you can install the scanner manually.
Step 1: Download the scanner driver from this link: https://download.freeprinterdriverdownload.org/download/kyocera/kyocera-ecosys-m2040dn/kyocera-ecosys-m2040-scanner-inf-driver.zip
Step 2: Unzip the driver zip file, you will get three folders there: TWAIN, USBSCN and WIA. For the USB connection, go to the “USBSCN“ folder and use “kmusbscn.inf“ file when the manual installation process asks for the scanner driver. Watch this video tutorial to learn how to install a scanner driver manually.
Note: If you would like to install the scanner through Network/WiFi then you will have to go to “WIA” folder and choose its scanner driver file.
