Help Saving to File

[Brooks1]

Hi there. I have a new HP Laserjet Pro M477fdw Wireless All-in-one Color Printer.

I have a desktop computer with an ethernet connection for internet, but I've connected my desktop to the new printer with a USB cable.

I have wifi and an extender for the wifi. I named one of the extended networks 'Printer' and intend to dedicate that network to the printer. 

The problem is that when I scan and want to save it to a network or to a file on my desktop, I can't do it since my desktop isn't on a wifi network. Even when I turned on the wifi (and turned off the ethernet connection), I wasn't able to save to a file or network since the wifi network that I turned on was different from the network the printer is on.

Is there a way to save from my wifi connected printer directly to my hardwired desktop? I can only figure out how to save to email, a network, or a USB drive.

Thank you!

Assuming you are using HP Scan, you have to set the Save to Folder...

Thank you! That did it. The problem was that I was trying to do this from the menu on the printer., which does not offer a save to localoption. Once I downloaded HP scan, everything worked fine. Thanks again!
