I have done a google search and tried a variety of things, but nothing
is working.

Scanner - Brother MFC 6800.
Can scan through "scanners and cameras" and the "Smart UI" which comes
with Paperport 8SE. However, everytime I try to scan inside of
Paperport it gives me an error message:
"problem communicating with twain device".

I have completely uninstalled the Brother and the Paper port
software.
Went into device manager - showed the hidden components and deleted
anything related to the scanner.

rebooted the workstation and reinstalled everything. The scanner is
working properly, so what gives with the Paper port program? Any
suggestions?

thanks

I assume that you have gone through the Paper Port Scanner Setup wizard.

If not run the Scanner Setup Wizard, it should be in the Start Menu along
with Paper Port.

Are you sure that the brother scanner has a TWAIN interface and you are not
using the WIA interface?
