DIRECT DIGITAL FILING FOR WINDOWS

i HAVE AN HP OFFICE JET PRO 8600 PRO AND AN HP ENVY COMPUTER.  HOW DO I SET UP DIRECT DIGITAL FILING FOR WINDOWS?

Hello @shodes1225!
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I should be able to provide some help regarding digital filling with the  Officejet 8600.  Whether you are setting up digital filing for fax or for scanning they are both located in the same area.  In order to setup the digital filling you must ensure that the Officejet 8600 full feature software and driver is installed.
For the Officejet 8600 software click here: HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver
Once the software is installed you should get an icon of the printer on your desktop.  Open that icon and you should get the HP Printer Assistant.  If you do not have the icon on the desktop you should be able to locate it in your start menu.
In the HP Printer assistant are 2 options for setting up digital filing.  There should be an option for scanning called Scan to network folder wizard and another option for faxing called Digital fax setup wizard.  Open what ever one you want to setup and just follow the steps.  The wizard should guide you through the setup!
Let me know how it goes and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

  • How I got my L7780 Direct Digital Filing to work on MacBook Leopard 10.5.6

    My situation was that I had miraculously been able to get Direct Digital Filing working once, but couldn't remember the exact steps I made to get it to work. I then had to clean reinstall my MacBook. And even when I put the exact path name that I had used originally in the web server for the printer (EWS?) and had set the network settings the same way I had originally. I was unable to get DDF to work.
    I was able to set up the L7780 wirelessly. I was able to print and scan from my MacBook wirelessly. BUT I couldn't get Direct Digital Filing to work.
    Neither Technical Support nor internet forums helped me entirely. I just took good tips here and there and finally got it all working together. Had a nightmare of a time figuring it. I called HP Tech Support and they told me I had setup everything on the L7780 correctly...only it just wouldn't working. Tech Support didn't offer to send me a new printer, but only suggested that I could do without Direct Digital Filing???
    What I did...
    Uninstall everything, the HP software from laptop. Making sure that all traces of the printer, or its drivers were off computer. Reset Network settings to default on printer. Reset factory defaults under Tools Menu on printer. Reset my wireless router.
    1. I turned the router on
    2. I turned the printer on (at this point, it is not connected to the network at all, either ethernet wire, or wireless, it has no IP address)
    3. I turned my MacBook on
    4. Connected my MacBook to L7780
    5. Installed the Printer software that I downloaded from HP website on MacBook. (Installed L7780 as USB)
    6. Tested the printing, and the scanning from my MacBook to make sure it works.
    7. Downloaded the Software Update from Apple that always comes up to update the HP driver after installation.
    Then for Direct Digital Filing,
    8. From the L7780 I selected the Setup Wireless Network Wizard or something like that. After that, the printer was connected to my network, and had an IP address.
    9. (Unable to get DDF working on my MacBook, I made a last ditch effort to see if it worked on my Windows Vista Laptop that had worked before as well) I turned on my Windows Vista Laptop, opened up Command, and pinged the IP of the printer. It worked.
    10. I created a folder and configured it to share for the printer. After configuring it. It will tell you the Address that you use to type into the Direct Digital Filing speed dial path to the folder. I did that. I tried DDF to the Windows Vista folder and it worked on my Vista laptop. Encouraged...
    11. I then tried it on my MacBook. I got into Terminal. I pinged the IP of the L7780. Strangely, I got an endless ping result list, it wouldn't stop. You have to press CTRL+C to stop it.
    12. Then I created a folder in root directory of my MacBook Hard Drive. "Scan." Went into Systems Preferences. Went into the Sharing Tab. Clicked the + sign to add a shared folder. Selected the new "Scan" folder. Made sure the Option was for SMB sharing (Must type in user ID & password). Made sure "File Sharing" was selected.
    Voila it finally worked!!!!
    NOTE:
    In the EWS? (web embedded print server by typing in the IP of the printer in your web browser)the Path is as follows: \\HARDDISK\Scan
    type in user name & password
    leave PIN blank, or erase it if there is anything there
    (If you have it in your Documents folder, it would look something like this... \\HARDDISK\Users\Username\Documents\Scan ..... However, becareful in the EWS if your path name is too long, you can't type in the entire path .... ALSO the original time that it was working (I don't know how)... I had my path as \\192.168.1.5\Username\Documents\Scan .... For some reason I was able to use my IP address of my MacBook, and then skip to my User name without the "Users" path before it .... However, since I reinstalled my MacBook, that address no longer worked for some reason.)
    NOTE:
    Either After I got it working on my Windows Vista Laptop, or after pinging the printer from my MacBook. I noticed a strange change in my Networks in the System Preferences. There was a new Location ncamed "hp nct temp set" instead of the original "Automatic" location that was there before. On the left, all "Airport" icons, "Connected" & full signals, instead of a variety of icons, Bluetooth, Airport, Ethernet, etc that the original Automatic location had. Either way, it seems to be making the Direct Digital Filing working, so I won't ask why. Further details in "Advanced" showed nothing different other than under "Airport" "Preferred Networks:" there was an additional Network Name "hpsetup" other than my home Wireless network. All other settings seem to be the same.
    SUMMARY:
    (Like I said, I'm not sure if Direct Digital Filing started working on my Macbook running Leopard because I got it to work on my Windows computer first, or because I used Terminal to ping the printer.)
    but...
    1. Setup L7780 wirelessly by making sure your Wireless network is working, and then turning on the printer, and then select "Wireless Setup Wizard" under Network on printer. It will give you a list of wireless networks from which you choose yours, and then type in the security password. After that is complete and it says your printer is now connected to the network, select display wireless network settings to make sure the L7780 has an IP address.
    2. On your Mac, open up Terminal and ping the IP of L7780. CTRL+C to stop it from pinging if it doesn't stop automatically
    3. Create and share folders on your Mac (making sure it's SMB with user id and password, and that the path to the folder isn't too long)
    3. Then setup Direct Digital Filing speed dials in the EWS by typing in the printer IP address in your web browser and going on the "Settings" tab.
    4. Test it from the L7780 by pushing the Direct Digital Filing button under Scan!
    I wrote this out for all those people that must be having a hard time with this as I had myself, and not getting any help from the internet or from Technical Support. I hope I figured it out for most of us.

    I found this post and the HP instructions for setting up digital filing to be extremely frustrating, because nothing worked -- UNTIL I tried shutting down my Mac and rebooting after entering the settings (a simple restart would probably have done as well). Digital Filing then immediately worked like a charm. For the benefit of others like me who find abstract paths useless, here is the specific path setting that works on my Mac (you will of course have to use a different path on your Mac, but this will give you a real-world example of a path that works) -- this is on an HP Officejet Pro L7780:
    \\BillCheesemanG5\cheeseb\Public
    In abstract terms, this is:
    \\<computer name from Sharing pane of System Preferences>\<short user name>\<folder named Public in my user domain, which comes already set up for sharing when you install Mac OS X>.
    I hope this helps somebody.

  • Is there an adobe digital edition for windows rt

    is there an adobe digital editions for windows RT

    Not as such.  However there are a few apps that will let you read DRM books.
    Check out in the reader store
    DL Reader: that one has worked best for me
    Overdrive: could be good for library books, sometimes stroppy about getting your Adobe ID registration working
    DReader: I couldn't get it to behave, but might be worth trying for you

  • OSX 10.9.2/paid for Acobat XI Pro directly from Adobe for windows/English 24 hrs to process order?

    I paid for adobe xi pro today directly from adobe.  Had licensed version that expired.  Got email with Serial Number and for Windows/English version.
    Go to Adobe and cannot load, do anything because says my order "still processing and can take 24 hours".  My cc online shows adobe paid.  Adobe says I am supposed to be able to load same day.  Not true. Obviously.  WTF do I need to do to get this to load and work. My PDFs have been completely disabled even in read.  Unreal.
    Thank you.

    AA XI purchase is separate from CC. If you got the serial number, just get the download from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html and install it. Please make a copy of the install file in case you need it in the future (it may not always be available).

  • L7600 Direct Digital Filing Problem

    I have an L7600 on my network that I'm trying to get to scan to a central location. It works just fine scanning to a share on a workstation but when I try and get it to scan to a server it falls over. After reading the *tiny* amount of information available on this subject I've noticed a mere footnote that DDF isn't compatible with Active Directory. Now, what the hell does that mean? Does this mean it won't save to a server that has AD installed? Is it something to do with the logons? Is it possible to get DDF to save to a server at all? Thanks in advance for any and all information!

    No problem. Glad you found workaround.

  • L7650 Digital Filing via WIFI

    I have a proper operating L7650 All-In-One. Printing via WIFI or ethernet cable works perfectly.
    I can not get the 7650 to connect to a Windows 7 laptop for "Digital Filing" when using WIFI. Pressing the Start Scan button causes the printer to try connecting but eventually it quits with "Cannot connect to \\Inspir...\Scanned Files . Make sure the remote computer is turned on. Press OK to continue". If I plug in an ethernet cable all works well so sharing, path name, security, etc. are all ok.
    How can I get Digital Filing to work over WIFI?
    Thanks!
    Ron
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I positioned my LT 6 ft. from the wireless router so signal strength would not be a problem. It's also close enough that my ethernet cable reaches easily.
    Using Internet Explorer I accessed the built-in web page in my L7650. Going to Settings - Direct Digital Filing Speed-dial I filled out the appropriate entries for the Address Book and saved them to the 7650. Looking at the screen of the 7650 I can see the network path change when I make and save the changes, thus, I'm able to access the 7650 via WIFI.
    I then went to the 7650 and pressed Digital Filing and Start Scan to initiate the process. The printer tries to connect but in about 15 sec. it quits with "Cannot connect to \\Inspir...\Scanned Files . Make sure the remote computer is turned on. Press OK to continue".
    If I now connect the ethernet cable, disable WIFI and allow time for the LT to get on the network step 3 works properly and the document gets scanned and saved correctly.
    Pulling the cable and re-enabling WIFI returns the LT to the problem stated in step 3.

  • HP Digital Filing function doesn't work with Mountain Lion....?!

    My HP Officejet L7780 is an All-in-One with a fabulous feature of Direct Digital Filing allowing us to do a digital scan and filing into a folder on my Mac. It is operated entirely from the printer by a single button.
    It works perfectly on my MBP with Snow Leopard.
    On my new MBP with Mountain Lion this function does not work - (the printer cannot find the computer, or says it is not turned on or it is not accessible..) Applecare cannot explain it - the Apple Genius does not know how to fix it - HP washes their hands saying the printer is no longer Supported.....
    I have a perfectly good printer/scanner/copier/fax - and i can still call a scan from my computer - but i can no longer send a file from the printer.
    I've done all the software downloads, uninstalled and reinstalled all the MAC-OS and Printer software, 3 times - looked throughout the HP website for udpate drivers to work with OS10.8
    Does anyone know how to fix it, please ?

    Hi ShlomiL,
    Thanks - i'm sure your answer is correct, it is totally consistent with the observed facts. but i ask myself WHY, oh WHY does Apple do such a short-sighted move to cut off legacy apps or legacy hardware forcing people either to not adopt their latest hardware/software, or waste totally good office equipment which is still perfectly workable.
    As luck would have it, i have an MBP with OS10.6 for my business - i can do a Direct Digital file scan to it perfectly OK but my new Retina MBP which i use for all my personal finances, taxes etc is the one i want to use with the printer, at home.
    I can get stuff from the scanner to my home MBP but have to do that poor workaround - and i refuse to be forced to trash a perfectly good 4 year old printer just to please some software re-designer.
    Is there a work-around (hack ?) where i can download the old SMB file/driver into Mountain Lion and replace the SMBX version which comes with the new OS, please ?

  • Download a Project file for Visual Studio regarding the Kinect for Windows v2? Getting Started with Kinect Development in Visual Studio

    I am currently trying to make an application for Kinect for Windows v2 but I am entirely new to Visual Studio and Kinect development and could use some help getting started. I honestly have no idea where or how to start and I figured the easiest thing would
    be to obtain a simple project file and examine how it works myself, but I have been unable to find one. The easiest thing would be if I could obtain a project file for Visual Studio that is an application which overlays the Skeletal model over people in real
    time, though similar project files would also be appreciated. The app I am making largely involves things similar to overlaying the skeletal model on bodies so this would get me off to a great start and show me how the code is laid out within visual studio
    simultaneously. (I would prefer the code to be in C# if that is possible but other languages also work).
    I have checked out some of the guides for kinect development but they all assume you know how visual studio works so I cannot get very far in them. Thus if you know of a good guide to get me started with visual stuido AND the Kinect then I would be glad
    to here that as well.
    Alternatively, and I know this is not the right place for this, I have Matlab, which I know works for the Kinect v1 but can't find support for it regarding the v2, so if you could point me in the right direction on how to get it to work with the Kinect v2
    THAT would also work incredibly well as I am much more familiar with Matlab.
    I already have Visual Studio Ultimate 2013 installed, as well as the Kinect SDKv2.0, the physical Kinect for Windows v2, and my laptop meets all of the requirements for development so those are not issues.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!

    Hi Jicnon,
    Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
    Since this forum is discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor. About your issue, I think that it is
    more related to the Kinect for Windows v2, so I suggest you can post this issue directly to Kinect for Windows v2 SDK forum:https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=kinectv2sdk
    ,maybe you will get better support.
    In addition, I find a similar thread about your issue, maybe you will get some useful message.

  • Are LabView licenses for Windows transferrable to Mac OS X?

    I can't seem to find any information on this subject on the National Instruments or in a search on this forum, so hopefully someone can answer these questions.
    My lab has 3 licenses for the use of LabView 8.5 in our lab, although the instructions that I've been given to install LabView involve downloading the trial software from National Instruments' website, and then using the activation code to activate the software. Trouble is, the trial software is for Windows only, and I was hoping to be able to run LabView on the Mac in our lab.
    Are the licenses for LabView transferrable across platforms, or does my lab need to specifically purchase a version of LabView for the Mac? If the licenses *are* transferrable, how do I request a CD for the Mac installers if we've already purchased LabView for Windows? Furthermore, if I'm able to use these licenses on a Mac, is it possible to install the Windows version on my Mac on my Boot Camp partition, and install the Mac version on my Mac OS X partition and only use up one license? I'm not sure if all of our hardware has drivers that will run under Mac OS X on an Intel Mac, and I don't want to be penalized for this by having to use up two licenses on the same machine.
    Any answers to these questions would be much appreciated.

    Hi SimX,
    The LabVIEW licenses are not transferrable directly, since LabVIEW for Windows and LabVIEW for Mac are entirely different products and have different installers.
    In this case, you should contact your local sales representative to see what your options are. You can find the email contact information at http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/nicc.call_me?p_lang_id=us, or call in to 866-ASK-MYNI (866-275-6964).

  • Digital Editions for win and the ASUS ea800

    hiya,
    First things first: if you're someone inclined to point out that the ASUS ea800 does not appear on the supported devices page, you're a dolt and i would prefer that you didn't.
    Now, my query is of the general form: why doesn't Digital Editions for Windows recognise my device? What is the procedure for investigating this issue? Are there knowledge base articles/instructions for this, and if so, where do they live?
    Cheers,

    hiya,
    Thanks for the reply: i wasn't really expecting one after my use of the word "dolt;" it's just that the device doesn't appear on the 'compatible devices list,' but it is actived for DRM and by all accounts, it should work.
    To be sure, towards the end of this video (a review of the EA800 by Good Ereader i think; can hardly see a thing, but...)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sx8AYBAKFE
    the fellow does just that: the EA800 appears as a bookshelf in Digital Editions and content is managed flawlessly. In addition, the device he has is a pre-release version that ASUS sent him.
