Using a Scan To Network share (OfficeJet 9130)

I have an OfficeJet Pro L7650. I was also unable to use the OfficeJet digital filing system to save scans to my ReadyNAS NV+ (invalid username / password displays on the OfficeJet LCD). The OfficeJet has a built in browser server the "Embeded Web Server (EWS)" that you can use to program the printer over a network using IE or Firefox on your own PC. You setup a path for the files to be stored using the EWS, but you will get an invalid username or password error when you start the scan. The trick is you need to set the username in the OfficeJet embeded web server to be your ReadyNAS share. You set the username up at the same time you set the path and can have up to five paths to store to different directories. For example I set the path in the OfficeJet to be nasipaddress//stuff/scans and I set the username in the OfficeJet to be stuff. I could set up another folder in the same share nasipaddress//stuff/officescans and use the same username (stuff) or set up a new share nasipaddress//wifestuff/scans and pass it the username wifestuff. I learned this after already installing the add-on that skywalker provided in the previous post, but I think this trick will work without the add-on and I would suggest you try it first and see if it works without the add-on.

Thanks Steve! This did the trick for our Large Format HP Designjet T2300! I spent over an hour on a chat with HP Tech Support and they were worthless on this issue! Treated me like I was stupid (like "Have you checked access from a Windows PC to the NAS?"). I did NOT install the add-on AND I was able to leave the password field blank. Took longer in HP interface to "verify" the destination (than to verify destination on a Windows PC), but scan & save time seems normal. I may have to share this info with the Tech that came to set this new machine up for us. I know if I were a tech installing these machines frequently I'd want to know this trick!

Thanks!
