M274 - hp scan tool does not detect IBM notes as mail program - "Send to mail" not working

[TBoel]

Hello from germany,

in my company we have 52x "HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M274" and since we changed our operating system from windows 7 x64 to windows 10 x64 the hp scan tool, especially the function "scan pdf and send via mail" does not work anymore. - We only get an error message that "no installed mail program can be detected". - We use IBM Notes 10.0.1 Fixpack 2 on our devices, which worked fine with hp scan tool and "send to mail"-function in windows 7.

I checked that "ibm notes" is set as default mail application in the windows 10 default apps settings, and i also checked successfully that the integrated windows mail function "right click" -> "send to" -> "mail recipient" is working fine and opens a new mail with attachment in our ibm notes application.

So at the moment i see only a problem with the hp scan software not detecting IBM notes as email application correctly. - We have installed the latest "complete driver pack" available on the hp download page for the M274. - So no idea why the software does not recognize the mail program correctly.

I will attach some screenshots which shows the behavior and some details.

Hi Kumar,

unfortunately your tips are not useful for us. When you state "ibm notes" is not an email client, this is wrong. - Of course, IBM notes is an email client. But google or yahoo, which you mentioned instead, these are NO email clients, only (web-)mail providers. So google and yahoo (web-)mail will not work with the hp scan program/driver, but an installed desktop client like Microsoft Outlook or IBM Notes should work perfectly. (And as i mentioned, in windows 7 we had no issues with the hp scan program/driver and the recognization of ibm notes as email program/application). So this is a software bug in the hp scan program/tool itself and needs a fix or workaround, only a hp software developer can provide...

All other provided solutions are also not helping/useful, as you see we are a business user with a lot of HP M274 printers and hundreds of widnwos 10 desktops, and we see this behavior on every device, so it is a major bug and reinstall the driver is not helping. - The only solution will be, to update/patch the hp scan tool itself to recognize an installed ibm notes 10 mail application/client as an "email program", what in fact notes is... - The only problem i see is that the hp scan program does not detect the installed ibm notes desktop application as email program in Windows 10, which is wrong.

So what i need is a bugfix for that incorrect hp scan tool/program behavior.

Hi Kumar,

you are correct, when i want to setup "scan to mail" locally at the printer google mail or yahoo are an option, but i don't want to setup this at the printer: I or our company members want to use the hp scan tool/driver with ibm notes, and this is not possible.

The second option you mentioned, i don't know if i can get official HP support from the "contacthp" site, when all of our 52x printers are out of warranty !? Is this possible to claim a bugfix to the scan software even without a valid warranty of the printer itself ?- This is why i choose the way to contact hp through this community forum... - I would guess without a valid warranty i will get stuck to get support !?

I understand your concern and I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.
