Assistance, please. I am running Windows 8.1 on two computers and Windows 7 on a 3rd. My printers (Brother MFC-490cw and MFC-495cw) will not recognize Outlook as a default email progam and so I cannot scan directly into an email.

 

How can I install Outlook onto my computers so it may be recognized by my printer/scanner?

 

Thanks,

What version of Outlook?

It -appears- that the OP is using OUTLOOKdotCOM...

The above topic was never replied to. I believe the OP may be confused. That's (AFAIK) a "cloud" application.

http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-com/

Outlook.com is free, web-based email from Microsoft.

Unless the OP actually has MS-Office Outlook installed

...and has tried to "connect" the two?

It must be possible. At least Yahoo! has the option to use the web-based Yahoo! Mail as your default mail client. I never did it myself as I have not used an actual email client in so long that I have gotten away from the practice of clicking on email links.
