February 21, 20224 yr I'm trying to setup the scan to folder feature on my new HP MFP M479fdn. I had no issues with my previous Canon MFP to scan to an Unraid share. I'm using the same public share called scan. I have tried with the root user and I have also created a new user "scanuser" and tried with that. I have tried "TMS-740", "tms-740", "WORKGROUP", "workgroup" and "localdomain" as the "Windows Domain". Both the web based configuration tool and the printer itself fail to make the connection. I suspect it is the "Windows Domain" part which is incorrect. What should it be in the case of Unraid? As a workaround I'm using my Windows computer's share without issues (domain in this case is the my computer's name) but we have multiple users in the family and Unraid would be the most convenient scan target since it is already available to all members. Any help is well appreciated!
July 31, 20223 yr Its sad no-one has replied. I just got a used M477fdn, and was tinkering with its settings. I wanted to get Scan to Network functioning, but when I do "Save and Test" it fails. I made the printer its own user in UnRaid. The fields that could be wrong are "Network Path" and I have "\\10.0.0.2\Household Storage\04 Scans\HP StN" 10.0.0.2 being my server address. "Household Storage" being the Share and the the nested folders from there. If anyone has set this up, and can help myself and @henris I, and no doubt he would be thankful.
July 31, 20223 yr Community Expert In the first case it could be that using the ip helps, in the 2nd maybe the printer doesn't like spaces in the path... It's been straightforward with my Brother printer.
October 20, 20223 yr Same problme here. I am in the mid of moving all features and folders from an Windows 10 PC used as NAS to an Unraid Server. The printer/scanner/... is a HP MFP M4777dn The server is a DELL T320 If anyone has solved this problem since the last poste, I would be very grateful if this person shares its knowledge with us
December 8, 20223 yr I too am unable to set it up. Had no issues when it was scanning to my old QNAP, but can't get it to work with Unraid. Tried both server name and ip address. Also tried different users, but no luck...
January 15, 20233 yr Have the same problem. Worked great with Synology, but won't connect to a Unraid Share. I tried with a specific user and IP adress. Maybe printer is using a too old SMB protocoll version?
January 15, 20233 yr No sure how to do that. This is what my Unraid Settings an HP Setting look like. And also attached the error message...

January 15, 20233 yr Yes, that is the solution. So again a modern hardware only supporting antique software protocols. Shame on you HP.
April 28, 20251 yr Bit of a necro but I just got a laserjet 200 color printer, and running into the exact same issue, unfortunately enabling netbios didn't fix it. It definitely prefers an IP to hostname. It seems like it can try to authenticate with the IP and not hostname, but you still get a test failed error. Pretty annoying, not a huge deal, but seems like these older ones just don't work with linux shares. Perfectly functional machine despite the age, and comes with plenty of free toner. Guess I'll use a flash drive like a caveman. Edited April 28, 20251 yr by JunctionRunner
