I'm trying to install a printer and a scanner, but I keep getting a "communication error", whatever that might mean. I kind of figured, amateurishly, that the scanner is having problems recognizing the printer, am I right or am I right? And more importantly, what can I do about it? TIA

What make and model is the printer, and what make and model the scanner?

Actually, it's not that important, really. If the report is communication error, than odds are it's a port situation, and both pieces of hardware are trying to use the same LPT port. That's be the first thing I'd check.
