Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hey,

I need help setting up a feature on an HP printer to allow scanning to individual user network folders using AD credentials.

The goal is for the printer to dynamically change the scan path to "\\10.10.10.10\Home$\%username%\Scan", based on who is logged in, but is %username% variable isn't working. I also tried %user%.

Has anyone successfully implemented this, or does anyone have insights on making this variable working?

Thanks in advance!

You likely need a device with FutureSmart 5 (Enterprise series) as the operating system in order to access this type of feature. Enterprise version of the M479 is the E47528. Part of the challenge in my opinion is the small screen used on these devices. Your other option, depending on number of users (should be less than 5 on a device of this type) is to create a one touch scan for each user and map to their home folder.
