Hi @DrMarcS,

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are unable to scan to email.

 

I think the printer is not connecting to web services , only then you would receive a server connection error, perform the steps mentioned in this document.

 

If the issue persists, add a static IP address to the printer.

  • Obtain the IP address of the printer – You can touch the “wireless” icon on the printer control panel to get the IP address.
  • Type the IP address on your web browser to obtain the printer's EWS page.
  • Go to "Network" tab - General - Select "Network protocols" - Select "Enable IPv4 only" (or similar) - Apply the settings.
  • Go to the “Network” tab – Click on “Wireless (802.11) – Then click on “Network address (IPv4)
  • Click on the radio button which says “Manual IP” and then click “Suggest a manual IP address” to give a manual IP address to your printer.
  • Click on the radio button which says “Manual DNS Server” and under manual preferred type 8.8.8.8 and under manual alternate type 8.8.4.4 (This is Google DNS server address

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Thank you for your help but went I get to network protocols it asks for my username and password. I believe username is part of my name @hpeprint.com(does that sound correct) but don't know what my password is. How can I retrieve my password. Thank you

Could you share an image of the screen requesting the username and password?

 

Let me know!
