As of May 30, 2022, gmail is no longer allowing apps that only use username and password as credentials, and so I can no longer allow "less secure apps" in my gmail settings for my scanner to email out. Is there a fix, or is my scan to email function with this printer useless now?

Hi
Please open the following link and login to the same account as you set for the printer.

Within the Signing in to Google section, be sure to turn on "2-Step Verification":

Next, create and use an App-Specific Password with the printer:

Once completing the changes update the outgoing email profile password to use the App Specific Password and then click Save and Test to ensure the problem has been resolved.
