Product: Officejet Pro X576
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
After re-installing the software for the Officejet Pro X576, unable to setup the Digital Fax to Folder Setup. It was working fine before the re-install. When using the digital fax setup wizard to either modify or setup the digital fax folder settings as advised in a support article, I get the error: "Error. Your printer cannot connect the server. Press "Edit" to correct server name and address."
This issue also applies to the Scan to Network Folder

Please try these.
Precondition:
- Connect the PC and the printer into the same subnet.
- Create a shared folder with the read and write permissions on the PC.
- Check the IP Address of the PC and the printer.
Steps:
- Launch the Web Browser on the PC.
- Access the printer’s EWS by typing the printer’s IP address in the browser address bar.
- Click “Fax” on the Home page.
- Click HP Digital Fax-> Digital Fax Profile.
- Click “Setup” icon.
- Input the Network Path with \\PC IP address\shared folder or \\Hostname\shared folder and then click the “Next” button.
- Input the PC user’s username and password and then click “Next” button.
- Change the Settings as you want and then click “Next” button.
- Click “Save and Test” button. A test process bar prompts out during the testing.
- Configuration successfully message will prompt out.
- If there is a incoming fax received to the printer.
- Go to the shared folder on the PC to check the received fax.
Hope this helps for you.
