Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
MFP M281fdw printer w/ newest firmware
Synology NAS with all software/firmware updated
I have created the shared folder in DiskStation called "scans" and given the user account "HPprinter" read write access to it.
I have set the SMB file services on the NAS to Min:SMB2 Max: SMB3
Everything looks peachy except that the printer will not connect.
The ever useful HP software just says "The test was unsuccessful. Try again."
