GS305 switch NOT supporting SMB communications from a scanner?
I have a GS305 switch which appears to NOT support SMB communication from the Scanner on a Kyocera office printer to a windows 11 machine. Everything else works, but the scanner does not. Scanner is a known good device.

Extremely unlikely we're facing switch issue here.
Lack of any details like model and firmware version of this Kyocera MFP. Looking around the wild Internet, I find users had success using the ubiquitous SMB 1.0/CIFS-Client and SMB 1.0/CIFS-Server by enabling these Windows Features accordingly.
Last but not least, there are several areas requiring actions: Creating the shared folder, creating the share, granting access to a user, granting access to the file system, granting firewall rules...
Honestly: This is something to discuss with Kyocera, not on the Netgear community.
