Scanning to ReadyNAS 312
Greetings-
I've just spent a couple frustrating hours setting every conceivable parameter on my Brother MFC-8510dn and ReadyNAS 312 to no avail. Anything I do yeilds an authentication error on the Brother MFC.
Now find this article about something called SANE:
This would seem to indicate that I CAN'T send scans to a share on the ReadyNAS without other plugins or apps?
I'm pretty sure that I have other offices where Canon and Ricoh copiers send scans to different model Netgear NAS devices.
If I DO need something like SANE, or if someone had other thoughts on connecting this device, I'd appreciate your comments.
Thanks ,Bill

Hello Bill_CTS,
Unfortunately, RN312 is a ReadyNAS OS6 system which does not have support for printer on its USB ports. The add-on you checked on is for an old system ReadyNAS OS4 Sparc-based.

Hi Bill_CTS
The add-on thread you linked in was about about connecting the printer/scanner to the NAS (and as JennC says it is for the wrong NAS).
But I think your question is about something different - you want to be able to save scans from your scanner to a NAS share? Am I right?
If so, can you let us know what settings you are using on the printer (and perhaps provide a link to the relevant printer manual)?
