I am trying to scan to network folder and it keeps failing when testing from either the printer or from a laptop. But i can scan using the HP scan software.
Thanks in advance.
I was researching smb1.0 but i cant find anywhere to turn on my machine.

Hi David,
Does your user account have a password? if not it is required to set a password for the user for the printer to connect to a shared folder.
Have you shared your folder?
What is the used share path?
