Using a Scan To Network share (OfficeJet 9130)
Hi i am struggling with trying to get a Hp OfficeJet 9130 to scan direct to my Infrant ReadyNAS NV.
I have created a share, given it a password. I can connect to it using a xp box no problem.
In the HP setup you can create a share. i have put the folowing in
Share Name DocStore
Folder Path \\192.168.204.50\DocStore
Username: I have tried all i can think off ie.
Guest
192.168.204.50\Guest
Blank
When i try to scan i get a error Sharename is incorrect
I can scan no problem to my xp box.
Any thoughts ?

- Qui_Gon_JinnAspirantLooks like your NAS was set to share security mode? What if you map your share as windows network drive, then try to use your HP Officejet over this network drive.
- IanSavApprenticeHi Tank,
Another fool who chose to buy a HP OfficeJet 9130 ;) :P
Assuming your ReadyNAS is configured to run in "Share" mode, have you tried setting the username to be the share name and the password is the password you gave that share.
If you still have issues post back and I can recheck my 9130 for you.
Regards,
Ian. - Tank1AspirantI am using the NAS in share mode. I have tried setting the username to be the sharename and it still does not work.
Its odd, the 9130 works fine to a xp share but simply says sharename incorrect.
I was hoping not to connect via the pc and i wanted it to become a stand alone doc store
If you could try it on your 9130 that would be great

- Tank1AspirantJust tried that and the printer says network connection error when i try to scan to the NAS.

I'm sorry -- I thought you're having printing problems. It appears that you're trying to do scanning. Unfortunately that won't work with the ReadyNAS -- only printing is supported. - IanSavApprenticeHi John,
I just confirmed the issue you are having. I can connect to my Windows XP shares and drop files OK but when I try to attach to the ReadyNAS (mine is in user mode) no matter what user I try I get a username/password error.
Yoh-dah: The HP OfficeJet 9130 is an ethernet based multifunction device that is capable of directly loging into Windows type shares and scanning documents to those shares. The unit does not need to create a scan in response to a windows based application (TWAIN). The unit has a keyboard and LCD display so that you han type in the name of any share on your network and then authenticate with any username or password you like. This is a very flexible system. :) (Shame that the firmware is so flakey with regard to its faxing capability).
I had a quick look at my ReadyNAS logs and did not notice any explanation for the problem. I am not sure what I should have been looking for so I may have been looking right at the problem but never noticed it. Anyone have any suggestions on what to look for?

Gotcha -- I thought it was acting as a TWAIN device... - IanSavApprenticeHi Yoh-dah,
Do you have any suggestions on what we should do to try and get this issue resolved?
While I didn't notice this function was not working because I normally scan directly to PCs on my network I would like to think that I can scan to the ReadyNAS if I need to. It looks like John already wants to use this feature. I am happy to assist in getting this problem resolved if there is anything you would like me to do.
Regards,
Ian. - yoh-dahGuideIan, I doubt if I can get an approval to buy this printer for testing as it's in the extra expensive class, but is there anyway that HP support might be able to help in getting this working with a Samba server?
