Color LaserJet MFP M277dw
Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

Hi!

 

I have a  HP Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Printer firmware 20160921

 

Trying to setup scan to folder

 

My setup: Mac Mini Mac OS 10.11.3 (El Capitan), using WIFI both printer and computer.

 

I've created a directory on my user account named "Scanner" for test everyone has "Read-Write". Also added this folder to filesharing (System preferences>Sharing). 

 

Printer setup:

 

Name: Scanner

Networkpath: \\192.168.1.243\Scanner

 

User: ValidUserName

Password; ValidPassword

 

When i choose "Test and Save", no errors occur.

 

When i try to scan a document i receive the following error:

"Cannot write to: \\192.168.1.243\Scanner" Destination folder is read-only, has the wrong permissions or is no longer availible"

 

But the scanner actually creates a file named scan0001.pdf in the correct directory, it's only 9 bytes and corrupt if I try to open it. What to do? Ideas?
