WebScan doesn´t work with iPhone browser [ Edited ]

[avibrazil]

The C4780 web interface for scanning is very practical because no driver installation on computer is required for scanning. Just point any web browser to its internal web server, start the scanning process and download the scaned image as a regular element on a web page, all using web standards, right?

Well, wrong for the iPhone browser.

For some reason, the C4780 (and probably other HP multifunction firmware) has incomaptible/untested Javascript/HTML that doesn´t work with the iPhone browser.

On preview action I´m getting a question mark box.

On scan action - where a new browser window would open on a desktop - I get nothing.

Please fix that. It could be very useful for me since I can simply scan stuff directly to my iPhone without having to open a computer.

I also posted this message under Scanning Faxing and copying.

Thank you,

Avi

On the iPhone, go to Settings...Safari...Turn Blocked PopUps off.

Worked for me with a PhotoSmart C4700.

It would be even nicer to have a simple iPhone app instead of using Safari.

Hummm, good tip. I´ll try it later today.
