Product: Laserjet Pro MFP M477fdw
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

I have tried to setup the network path to a shared folder so I can scan directly to my Mac. I followed the instructions: 

 

- created a shared folder

- enabled filesharing for my username

- enabled file sharing with SMB and AFP
- Display name 

- folder path \\192.168.178.20\Scans   (the folder scans is in my root)

- gave it my username and password 

 

No mather what I try in folder path or the test fails and I cant scan. What am I doing wrong?

 

edit: When using the Scan to network Setup Wizard on my other PC, I can even see the above folder on my mac. I just cant connect to it?
