I'm trying to set up my hp printer for scanning to email (color laser jet pro MFP M283fdw).

I've found the set up page and I've found the printer's email address.  What I can't find anywhere is what SMTP server and port settings to use.  I can find them for my personal email address - that's easy, but I can't find them for the printer's email address.  Do I use the same one.  I've searched and searched and can't find anything online to tell me whether it's the printer's email SMTP settings or my email SMTP settings.  To those in the know, this question might sound stupid, so apologies in advance.  

Please can anyone help.

Thanks.

It depends on the SMTP mail server. If you are on google watch this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM7PS-5D06A

But do I need the printers SMTP settings or my own email SMTP settings. Actually, I've tried using my email's SMTP settings and it doesn't work so it must be the former.  The printer is at a community theatre where I volunteer - do I need to know which network we use at the theatre?  

I'm confused.
