”Simple guidance to get your HP printing cleanly again.”

Common Reasons Scan-to-Email or Scan-to-Folder Fails

We’ll help you verify SMTP/SMB details, permissions, and network paths—clearly and safely.
  • SMTP server/port mismatch or TLS/SSL option not set correctly
  • Authentication failing: incorrect username/password or app-password needed
  • From/Reply-To address not allowed by your mail provider
  • Firewall or ISP blocks on SMTP ports (e.g., 465/587)
  • Device time/date wrong, causing TLS validation errors
  • SMTP sender rate limits or attachment size limits
  • SMB path typo (e.g., \\COMPUTER\Share) or share not published
  • Wrong share permissions or NTFS folder permissions
  • Scanning to a laptop that sleeps or changes networks
  • Guest/Null sessions disabled; credentials required
  • DNS or IP changes after router reboot (folder host unreachable)
  • Old firmware or admin password preventing updated settings

How we’ll help:

  • Confirm provider-correct SMTP host, port, and TLS option
  • Enter the proper auth (including app-passwords when required)
  • Test a simple email with small PDF; review provider size limits
  • Build an SMB path you can copy/paste and verify credentials
  • Set a reservation for your scan target (PC/NAS) and the printer
