Product: HP Officejet 8620
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've been using Ubuntu for years and recently moved back to Windows 10.

 

I'm trying to setup Scan to Network Folder so I can scan directly from the printer to my windows 10 laptop.

 

I had this working fine under Ubuntu (linux) but just can't get it to work in Windows 10.

 

The HP Printer Software doesn't seem to give the options that I've found in the HP setup videos.  Whenever I type in the windows search bar HP it only brings up the SETUP.EXE programme and doesn't give me the software to setup the network scan option.

 

I've tried using the EWS option but I'm having trouble doing it manually - It worked perfectly well in ubuntu but in Windows 10 I just can't seem to share the folder on my C: drive successfully with the printer.

 

Any ideas?
