Hi, I'm Brownie. Thanks for coming here!

Would you mind reading my post in blue below? Besides this one, the 2nd post. 'Cause that pretty much sums it up, but I'm too lazy to type it here.

Thank you! :3

Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity.


Okay, well, every printer/scanner is different.

There should be a 'lid' almost to it which has a glass window on the top, you want to put your drawing face-down on the glass, and close the lid.

Now the easiest way to do this would be I think to go to the "my computer" section in your computer, and look under the section that says "Scanners and cameras"

Double click on the icon of your scanner, and depending on your software, it will either begin to scan a picture (Like mine does) or a box will come up asking you what you want to do, and you click teh one that says somethign about downloading photos from a scanner or camera. Then it will lead you through a process to scan it in.

There may be other/easier ways to do this, because each scanner comes with its own software, but without knowing how your scanner software specifically works, this is the only way I can help you.

Good luck!

Thank you so much! Well here's the story :

I put my picture on the printer, and pressed Scan. On my computer screen it popped up a program thing about what I wanted to do with the picture. But then my monitor turned off and went orange.. -.- so I had to restart the computer. Now when I put a picture and and press Scan, it only shows up a bar filling up saying Scanning... and then when it's done it just disappears. Although before it disappeared, it said Transferring... but I looked everywhere and couldn't find it. |:

And I looked in my Control Panel of my computer, and there's a section where it says Scanners and Cameras. I open it and there's one that says WIA Canon MX330 ser. (canon MX330 is the printer model) But I remember someone told me if I see something that starts with WIA then don't click on it. I'm not sure though.. that's why I'm looking through forums I posted to see who said that and why.

Thank you for helping me, though! ♥

Once its on the computer, you just have to upload it to the website you want. Like you do on facebook/myspace.

Nah, I know people who don't go on social networking sites. I rarely bother, myself.

Although...who says your parents have to know? Unless you share a computer, or they check your history....

Anyway, just go to Photobucket, get an account, create albums if you wish, and then upload stuff. Simple.

OP, well, you're not doing anything wrong. Sounds like a glitch either with the driver or the printer itself. Try reinstalling the driver and see if that works. If not...sorry to say, you're likely screwed.

Anyway, I've used WIA on a Canon, and it worked fine. I'm not familiar with your particular model, though, so I'm not sure.
