Officejet Pro X576
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

  2. Access the printer’s EWS by typing the printer’s IP address in the browser address bar.
  3. Click “Fax” on the Home page.
  4. Click HP Digital Fax-> Digital Fax Profile.
  5. Click “Setup” icon.
  6. Input the Network Path with \\PC IP address\shared folder or \\Hostname\shared folder and then click the “Next” button.
