Using a Scan To Network share (OfficeJet 9130)

The post was in this thread by "Skywalker" a while back (see at the end of this post. BTW - I couldn't get the "add-on" mentioned in skywalker's post. But, I figured, based upon the date on the post, that maybe certain aspects of the "fix" may have become part of the raidiator 4.1.6 upgrade that was just released.):

My setup:
- The Netgear NV+ under the security tab is in "share mode" and the workgroup is the same as all the rest of my computers that are on my LAN
- In my ignorance, and not knowing what protocols are actually used, I enabled all of the standard file protocols in the Services tab. No ill effects noted, so I have left it the way it is.
- In the "share listing" other than the default folders (media and backup), I added a folder called "My_Docs" and ensured "read/write access" for all of the file protocols listed.
- If you click on CIFS and then goto the "Advanced Tab", you'll see an "Advanced Share Permission" page. The share folder owner for me is "My_Docs" and I believe this is the fundamental key to getting the Digital Filing to work.
- The share folder is "nogroup" (a default I think) and the share folder group rights and share folder everyone rights has been set to "read/write".
- The grant rename and delete privileges to non-owner of files has been enabled.

In the network setup for the HP for digital filing, my network path is "//192.168.1.155/My_Docs" (I have DHCP setup on my router BUT I have the IP address for the NetGear assigned permanently as 192.168.1.155) the user name is "My_Docs" and I left the password and pin blank, AND THAT'S IT! The scan takes place almost immediately with (to my knowledge) no limits to size.

FYI - the "My_Docs" for me is my "root folder" on the NetGear. For sub folders (e.g., a folder called "scans" that resides within "My_Docs"), the setup is:
"//192.168.1.155/My_Docs/scans"
the user name however is still "My_Docs" (for me) and the password and pin are left blank.

Hope this helps. I now have multiple network file paths programmed in for various activities, invoices, bills, etc and am finally able to start scanning in all my paperwork and reduce the amount of crap in my cabinets. I would assume that the newer versions of HP's All-In-Ones will be able to scan in a similar manner. I don't know if what I have said above holds true for the setup for Vista or WIN7.

ReadyNAS: NV Okay, we got a 7780 in today, and I may have a solution. You can try this addon out. It should fix both of those issues. DawgDaze (and anyone else in Share security mode), you'll need to use the share name as the user name in the OfficeJet setup. If you don't have a password set on the share, just leave the password field empty.

NOTES:
* If you have any Unix/Linux clients on the network using CIFS, this addon will probably make them behave strangely. Mac OSX should be fine.
* This probably will not work in Domain security mode.
