@cedleg, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Let's get your Scan to Email feature working again with smtp.free.fr on your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M227fdw.
Step-by-Step Setup via HP Embedded Web Server (EWS)
Access the Printer's Web Interface (EWS):
- Ensure the printer is connected to your network.
- Open a browser and enter the printer’s IP address (found on the printer’s control panel under Network Settings).
Enable Scan to Email:
- Go to the System tab → Administration.
- Ensure Scan to Email is set to On.
Configure Outgoing Email Profile:
- Go to the Scan tab → Outgoing Email Profiles.
- Click New or Edit your existing profile.
SMTP Settings for smtp.free.fr:
- SMTP Server:smtp.free.fr
- Port:587 (or try 465 if SSL is required)
- Authentication: Enabled
- Username: Your full Free.fr email address
- Password: Your Free.fr email password
- SSL/TLS: Enabled (try both if unsure)
Sender Email Address:
- Use the same Free.fr email address as the sender.
Save and Test:
- After entering the details, click Save and Test to verify the connection.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If the test fails, double-check:
- Email and password are correct.
- SMTP port and SSL settings match Free.fr requirements.
- Your Free.fr account allows SMTP access (some providers require enabling this in account settings).
- Try disabling 2-Step Verification if enabled on your Free.fr account.
- Restart the printer after saving settings.
