Dear Experts

I have got HP LaserJet M5035 MFP Series printer that initially was able to scan documents to shared folder on 2xDesktops (PC1 and PC2) windows 8

I upgraded PC1 (but not yet PC2) only from windows 8 to windows 10 pro and I tried to copy the same setting as it was on windows 8

Created folder on windows 10 and shared it and edited permission tab and security tab as well

I can access that shared folder on PC1 from PC2 no issue.

On the web interface of the printer when I click on : "Test Folder Access" I get below error message

Unable to reach ’\\VISIONDESKTOP\Kylie_Scans’. Please check the location and make corrections as needed

Thx

We have had this issue with Win10 before because the system can't translate the name (in your case \\VISIONDESKTOP\Kylie_Scans’) to an IP.  I would get the IP of the pc in question and then use that instead of the name (ie \\192.168.1.20\kylie scans) and then test.  I bet it will work if you try it that way. 

Hi Alex

Thanks for help

unfortunateLy i had tried that before posting to the this forum and it failed.

I am away from the office and problem i can’t access the PC1 now via teamviewer other i would have shared screenshot for the access test via ip address of the printer which is 192.168.1.8/24

Instead of calling them PC1 PC2  can you call them WIndows 10 and windows 8 ... i'm getting them confused.

SMBv1 should of been disabled years ago.. if your printer doesn't support smb2 or 3, prob time for an update..

SMB Protocol Support for HP Printing Devices

 

Leaving that smbv1 enabled is not good security practice..  Age of worms and ransomware..

    • I thought the Civ fans liked it but hate Civ 7.
    • That's why as a general guideline whatever Linux distro you choose, it's best to stick with one that's been around a long time (with a bit more of a name to) since it's less likely they will just end-it out of no where. apparently Clear Linux OS has been around for a little over 10 years now, which is a while but not quite 'a long time'. p.s. that's one of the reasons I stick with Linux Mint since it's been around longer than probably a high percentage of others (i.e. Aug 2006, so nearly 19 years now) and probably ain't going away anytime soon and I figure anything based on Debian/Ubuntu (Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and even Mint's alternative LMDE is based on Debian) is probably a wiser all-around choice then others mainly because while there is no exact standard when it comes to desktop Linux PC's, Debian/Ubuntu are probably as close as it gets. I would imagine these probably have the most users without checking(?).
    • I doubt there are many, only those that will get use out of the extras, what ever they are. I doubt a lot of home users even realise what Gemini is, just think it is a new version of Google Assistant. I wonder if Google will get rid of assistant and force people to Gemini at some point, I got rid of the Gemini app and changed Google Assistant back to what it was, not that I really use it anyway. I have Alexa as the default, and I don't even use that on my phone much. I prefer doing a normal search using Duck Duck Go
    • “Intel recently announced layoffs impacting 5,000 employees, while also making a rather somber comment that it is too far behind in the AI race to catch up now.” - That’s ridiculous. Whatever we want to this current AI race, it’s absolutely not artificial intelligence, but it absolutely is not too late to spend a bunch of money to make a couple bucks only to lose it all when this AI craze ends suddenly.
    • I only got one of them months ago, just after Google decided to stick the Gemini app on my phone, I deleted the app and had nothing since.
