When I go to scan a document and email it, I am receiving an error message saying that the username and password is incorrect. How do I fix this?
I've been trying to fix this through defaulting the printer, using the HP doctor software, etc... nothing is working. How do I fix this?

hiiiii buddy thanks for asking this. as I really appreciate you that at least asked your problem because lots of people even didn't try to ask these questions. I really admire your knowledge that you had at least tried to fix this problem using simple hacks.
so you can do these things to fix it.
please double-check your username and pass. also login into your email before scanning any document.
Instead of scanning and sending it directly in the mail. I suggest you scan the document first, save it on PC, then send it by mail.
hopefully, this works for you,
thank you
