Using a Scan To Network share (OfficeJet 9130)

I'm in the US, but I doubt if HP here will be any more interested. The last firmware update for this printer was nearly two years ago, and this is probably a Samba problem anyway. I'll see what the Samba people say. If we don't get any traction with them, then maybe we can try pursuing it with HP.

Sorry to correct you but the latest OfficeJet firmware is just on 7 months old. HP Officejet All-in-one Firmware SMR3010D 22 Nov 2006

That's typical of HP. If you select Mac OS X for your operating system, then go to the Firmware page, it shows version SMR3009P dated 30 Sep 2005. So people using Mac's get older firmware than people running Windows. Nice. :(

Update: I just installed Samba 4.0.0 TP4 on my Linux box and it seems to fix the authentication problem! They seem to have re-written a large portion of the offending code and this appears to have solved the bad vuid issue.

Unfortunately this is a 'technology preview' version (i.e. pre-alpha) and there is no indication of when a stable release will be available.

I still think the best way forward for us ReadyNAS users would be to add a simple option to the share configuration page. I'll post something to the feature request forum and see what they say.

I've put in a feature request for this option: http://www.infrant.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11482

Please indicate your support if you'd like to see this option added.

Hi Greg,

Message of support added. I wonder if we are in time for a RAIDiator 4 fix?

Hello,

I am wondering if I experience the same problem with my Officejet 7780.

When I ry to scan directly to my ReadyNas NV+, it starts to write the file to the selected directory, but after creating the file (a 8KB file size IS created), the systems halts. The OfficeJet never ends its scanning action, the file does not grow.

I am pretty confident the user/passwd setting is correct (as the file IS created)......

Grtz,
R.

More details on the problem above (about my Officejet 7780):

the smbd.log says:

[2007/06/28 16:58:58, 0] smbd/reply.c:reply_write_and_X(3057)
write_andX: End of header assumed at 64 but was at 59.
[2007/06/28 16:58:58, 0] smbd/reply.c:reply_write_and_X(3061)
write_andX: SMB headerlength of 59. Fall back to regular write reading 1380 bytes

My hunch is some tech-savvy at Infrant might know what happens here.....?

Hi Renato,

In my case I can't get the initial connection to work. No file is ever created.

I also have a 7780 that won't write to my ReadyNAS NV+. I can't even get mine to go through the scan process. It fails attempting to select the scan-to folder saying that the share is full or write-protected (which of course it isn't). I've tried all manner of user/pass combos as well as modifying the access permissions on the share itself, and even creating a dedicated share just for the scanner. This combo would be the best thing my network ever did for me b/c it would be both a place to keep original scans that is redundant, and would relieve me from having to boot a machine to scan anything. Please Netgear or Infrant (whatever you like to call yourselves these days) dedicate some resources to making sure the samba on this thing is compatible with these scanners. Having the ReadyNAS was one of the reasons I bought the printer that would do the "scan-to-network-share" thing. I'll be very disappointed in both devices if I never get this working.

I have exactly the same problem as described by Renato. My Officejet 7680 starts scanning but stalls after writing approx. 7kb to the ReadyNAS share (usermode). I have to hard-reset the printer in order to get it back online. The (piece of) file on the Readynas share remains locked, I can't delete it...
