Eprinters can't "scan to email" - whats up with that?

Hi,
I just read this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-printing-questions/scanning-to-e-mail/m-p/302534
And it seems that all of the new eprinters can not scan to email. If this is true, I find this mind boggling.
I am trying to understand the reasoning of HP product marketing/managment here. They wanted to build a printer  that is so independent that it doesn't need to be physically connected to any device - _except_ when someone wants to scan something? Does that make sense?
Technically speaking they probably have some email (smtp) client built onto the printer, so setting up an email gateway, and sending email shouldn't be that much work. The only thing I can think of (or hope for) is that "scan to email" didn't make the cut in the first release and will be added to future eprinters.
Maybe someone here can help me understand HP's thought process.

Hi roubles19,
If my understanding on the feature that you mention is correct, scan to email is actually a feature that is currently available for the Officejet product range. The new ePrint lineup for Officejet do support scan to email but the implementation are just slightly different.
For HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium, if the printer is network connected, there is a feature called HP Direct Digital Filing. User needs configure the email settings such as email address, smtp server setting and etc  sueccesfully and the user will be able to perform scan to email.
Thank you.
I am an HP employee

  • Can't 'Scan to Email' on USB connected printer to AE (Bridge mode)

    Can't 'Scan to Email' on USB connected printer to 2nd AE (in Bridge mode extending wireless network).
    Prints fine though.
    Printer is set to static IP adress (192.168.0.50).
    Upstream Router is: 192.168.0.1 (this is connected to first AE).
    When the printer was previously attached (by ethernet cable) to 1st AE, everything was working fine and I could login to printer Admin page via Safari by tying IP Address.

    Only the print function is supported when a multi-function device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort router.
    Advanced features like scan, copy, maintenance, etc are not supported at the USB port.

  • HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

    I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

    The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.

    To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I print and email a report with a logo?

    How can I print and email a report with a logo?
    Is this possible??

    hi ravikant!
    im talking about reports, not forms.
    i bet se78 is for forms and oaer is for report.
    because my logo is displayed on screen, using html-top-of-page.
    but at the time of printing and email, internally, alv grid is converted into alv list, and alv list doesn't support having a logo.
    That's my know-how of the situation.
    Do you have a way with it???
    Please advice.
    Thanks a lot!

    my youtube app is gone dissapeared, whats up with that, did Apple secretly removed it because it can't be deleted?

    It is not gone and Apple did not remove it.
    It is either on one of the home screens or in a folder, unless restrictions have been enabled and it was blocked.
    Check Settings > General > Restrictions.  If Restrictions are enbabled, is YouTube restricted?
    If all else fails, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen layout.

    Hi
    Magic solution - NO
    Some thoughts - YES
    Is the iPhoto Library still where it was previously (or on external Hard Disk - now turned off) ?
    One approach might be to - Repair iPhoto library (but this takes hours - so try below first)
    Trouble-shooting guide
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    Creating a new User-Account and log into this
    This forces iMovie to create all pref. and cache files new and error free
    Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    a Codec is used that doesn't work (even though iMovie and/or iDVD tries to / they fail in the end)
    version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    USB-flash-memories - usually do not work
    Net-work connected hard disks - usually do not work (most often not fast enough and WRONGLY FORMATTES as DOS etc)
    iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie. When iMovie starts-up it first look trough this iPhoto library and if faulty it all Halt’s.
    This You do by
    First -  close iPhoto
    Secondly - on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    Thirdly - now select all five options presented
    THEN - WAIT a long long time (>20 hours are not strange)
    free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    Screen must be set to million-colors
    Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

    My ical will synch to my iphone, but not the reverse. Whats up with that?

    An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. The iPod sees the rebuilt computer as a new iTunes library. To make this computer the syncing computer
    - Transfer iTunes purchases:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
