Hi all,
I bought a HP 6950 because I've got the information from the distributor that this type of printer/scanner can scan directly, without a PC, to a certain eMail address (no HP eMail). But it seems not...
In the configuration there is no possibility to enter all the data for email-access as I'm used to, for example from my Canon Scanner.
Can anybody help me?
Regards, Snoopy

You are perhaps referring to Digital Send > Scan to Email that supports SMTP.
If this is your context / question...
Digital Sending / SMTP supports configuring Scan to Email right on the printer.
The low-to-mid-range-Non-Pro OfficeJet 6950 printer does not do that; you need software to use Scan to Email.
(See the User Guide )
Examples ...
Data sheet | HP OfficeJet 6950 All-in-One Printer
Digital sending Standard: Scan to PC
You need a different printer, a (more robust) "Pro" model
For example,
Data sheet | HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 All-in-One Printer
Digital sending standard features: Scan-to E-mail; Scan to network folder; Scan to SharePoint; Scan to thumb drive
Example - Embedded Web Server (EWS) - Scan to Email (OfficeJet Pro 9025)

Hi,
The printer can only scan to a computer or to email through a PC with an MS Outlook email client software configured, it cannot scan directly to email independently, or you may scan to email from a mobile device using the HP Smart app.
Select printers with a full color touch screen supports direct scanning to email through a network connection, not an Officejet 6950 printer.
