Scan to network share (SAMBA server Debian12)

[Ditro]

HI Experts,

I’m going crazy – I can’t get Scan to Network Share to work. I’ve set up an anonymous SAMBA share, and all devices (Windows/Mac/iPad) can write to this share anonymously, but the printer just reports a network error. Please check the printer’s network connection and try again.

Smb.conf

[global]

map to guest = Bad User

min protocol = NT1

max protocol = SMB3

[Public]

path = / tmp/test

writable = yes

guest ok = yes

guest only = yes

force user = nobody

create mask = 0777

directory mask = 0777

public = yes

read only = no

Any hints / idea

Hey @Ditro,

Thank you for your response

Use SMB1 (NT1) Only

Add this to your Samba config (/etc/samba/smb.conf):

[global]
map to guest = Bad User
server min protocol = NT1
server max protocol = NT1
ntlm auth = yes
 

[Public]
path = /srv/samba/public
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
force user = nobody
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777

Change the Folder Path

Don’t use /tmp — it can block access.

Restart Samba

sudo systemctl restart smbd

Set Printer Path

On your printer or its web interface:

Folder Path

Leave Username & Password blank
