Front-panel scanning to computer: how to change destination folder?

[MichaelCottrell]

From the printer's front control panel, if I select Scan > Computer > "Scan to [my computer's name]", the scan is saved in the [Path of Windows Picture folder for my user]\[YYYY-MM-DD] folder. How can I change this destination?

Please do not provide a solution that includes "uninstall the software and…".

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you want to change the scan to computer destination, I am glad to assist you.

You can create a folder and save it to a different destination on the computer.

Here are the steps:-

• Set up a shared folder from a Windows computer that can be accessed by other users or devices on the network.
• Create a folder on your computer.
• Right-click the folder, and then select Properties.
• Click the Sharing tab, and then click Share.
• 
• In the Choose people on your network to share with window, select Everyone from the drop-down menu, set the Permission Level to Read/Write, and then click Share.
• In the Network discovery and file sharing window, select access for a private network or all public networks.
• Write down the network path from the Your folder is shared window. You will enter this path later when sharing this folder with other users or devices.
