Richard I had a similar problem with a Lexmark All-in-one Printer/Fax/Scanner system. I found what I thought was the wierdest thing... They said in an article on their site to not have the All-in-one plugged into the surge protector that the rest of the devices were on- ie: computer and such, and to have it plugged straight into the wall. Believe it or not, this fixed it. I then got a seperate surge protector just for this device..
