MCF735 cannot be found

Trying to install printer on new laptop, running driver utility set up results in printer never being found.  Can ping the printer just fine, could back end install the printer from the computer's printer set up.  Thus prints just fine.

But cannot scan because the scanning drivers are not installed.  Scan utility set up ran just fine, but when you select to open it, gives no scanning drivers error.

I have tried plugging in the specific IP address to find the printer, no dice.  TUrned off windows firewall, no dice, 

It should not take hours to get a printer talking to a computer, it's already talking to, just to get it to scan.

I am out of ideas, behind pitching the thing out the window.
