Network Folder Setup - "No Write Permission". Windows Vista.

Product: 8600 N911g

I am having issues in creating a network folder to scan to my computer. It responds ‘No write permission’

**NOTE**Before I allow you to continue reading, I need to first know to I need to create a password in my user account, or turn off UAC to create a scan network folder on my PC? If so, then that is what I need to do to correct this issue.

Steps I have performed in attempting to accomplish this task:

In Windows to create shared folder:

1) Created folder.

2) Open folder properties, under 'sharing' tab, selected 'Share' button, then selected 'Share' button.

3) A dialog window appears and states 'Sharing items', and when it is complete, it states "Your folder is shared. You may e-mail these links to notify people that you have shared these files, or copy the links onto the Windows clipboard, where you can paste them into any program you choose.”

4) When I select ‘Done’, it returns to the folder properties, and states in ‘Network File and Folder Sharing’ under ‘Sharing’ tab under ‘Network Path’: ‘Not Shared’.

**I don’t understand that it just said ‘Your folder is shared’, then under Network Path is stated ‘Not Shared’.**

5) Since in stated ‘Not Shared’, I selected ‘Advanced Sharing’, checked ‘Share this folder’ box, and under ‘Permissions’, checked ‘Full Control’ box.

6) Now it states Shared, and under ‘Network Path’ states the location: ‘ \\ADMIN-PC\ScantoDV9825 ’

In the HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g, Embedded Web Server to add network folder to scan to:

1) Opened ‘Scan’ section by clicking on the tab ‘Scan’. Under ‘Network Folder Setup’, the ‘Network Folder Configuration’ clicked on ‘New’.

2) Entered data for the following fields:STEP 1 OF 4: Display Name: ‘Scan’, Network Path: ‘\\ADMIN-PC\ScantoDV9825’. Left User Name and Password fields blank. STEP 2 OF 4: Left PIN fields blank. STEP 3 OF 4: Did not make any changes, used default settings.

3) In STEP 4 OF 4 when I click on Save and Test, it returns with the message ‘No write permission’

How do I resolve this issue of ‘No write permission’?

Thank you.

Hi Robert,

First ensure the permissions are also set correctly by right clicking the shared folder, and then open the Security tab.

If your user name is not listed as Full Control click the edit button, add your user name and check the box for as Allow full control.

If that does not help, follow these steps in Windows Vista to make sure that your computer is configured to allow network sharing.

1. Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel .
2. Click User Accounts , and then select the account you used to log into the computer.
3. Click Change your Windows password , and then find the user account you used to log into the computer.
4. If the user account is password protected , continue to the next step.
5. If the user account is not password protected , click Create a password for your account to create a password, and then continue to the next step.

Step two: Define the network location

1. Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel .
2. Click Network and Internet .
3. Click Network and Sharing Center .
4. Click Customize next to Your Network . The Set Network Location window opens.
5. Select Private , click Next , and then click Close .

Step three: Make sure that the network sharing and discovery options are correct
