can you possibly help me out? i am going nuts trying to solve this

i have a laserjet mfp m477fnw and am trying to do scan to network folder since scan to pc is gone

 

i created a folder called test_scans

i made it a shared folder by right-clicking. gave it read/write permissions by everyone

i took the directory off my terminal

i enabled file sharing

 

for display name* test_scans_test

network path* \\192.168.1.15\Users\kenny_imac\Public\test_scans

 

i took the afp/smb address in the above. reversed all the slashes

 

filled out my username and password

 

but it keeps failing. i have no idea why. ive been messing around nonstop with the network path. what am i doing wrong? i attached an image of my details

Hi,

Try using the following path:

\\192.168.1.15\test_scans

As well click the Options button and ensure your user accoutn is checked for Bonjour and then run a test.

 

May you see any difference?
