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.

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.

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!

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 ?

Hi @brownierl,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are trying to setup the digital filing network folder for your HP Officejet pro 8610. I am happy to help!
I would recommend to go through this guide, Scan From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder) for HP Offi.... Select How to scan directly to a network folder (network connections only), when you get to Step two: Set up the Scan to Network Folder. Make sure to select Windows, and try each of the options available.
Hope this helps!

Digital Noise Problem on AA 1.5

Adobe Audition 1.5
Lately I have noticed that just by opening a track within Adobe Audition, that process "creates" or embeds digital noise within the song.
I have tested this problem a few times by listening to the song before opening it within Audition. Beforehand, the song plays without digital noise, and after it has been opened within Audition, the noise appears. This digital noise is hard to describe, it's short in length of time, about 1-2 seconds, and will appear at least once within whatever song is being tested.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Audition to see if this would solve the problem, but to my surprise, the exact same digital noise problem remained within the reinstalled version of program. In the past, AA 1.5 has worked okay without this problem.
It's also worth noting that when I reinstalled the program, I successfully entered my program key, and I am "not" running the program in demonstration mode.
I am planning on upgrading to Adobe Audition 3, but the upgrade uses a previous version as a platform on which to upgrade to version 3.
The concern is that this digital noise will "survive" in version 3 of the program.
Thanks for any tips or ways to eliminate the digital noise (besides reinstalling the program), even within Adobe Audition 1.5 for the time being.

The brief digital noise "replaces" or interrupts the song and does not mix together with it.
I have been saving the songs in .wav format.
I operate AA in virtual mode on Windows XP within a Mac computer, and now I have also discovered the same
digital noise on another sound program within a song on the Mac side.
I appreciate that this isn't a Mac forum, but I found a bulletin from Apple about noise issues with my current G5 computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2033?viewlocale=en_US
Perhaps this is good timing as I am preparing to buy a new Mac Pro, and this one has an Intel processor so I'll be
able to run Windows and Adobe Audition natively.
Thanks to all for the insightful comments and help.

Digital output problem with new Audigy 2 driv

I updated to the 02.08.0004 drivers today and everything seemed fine till after I calibrated my speakers within speaker settings. I have Z680s hooked up to a Audigy 2 PCI card using both digital out and analog. As with previous drivers I calibrated using 6 Channel direct input.
Anyway, the problem is that when I use windows media player or any other media app, with the speakers set to Coax input (digital) I get the sound coming from the rear 2 speakers, instead of through the front 2 as it should. However, this only happens if I choose a speaker calibration under speaker settings.
It's a bit annoying because I didn't have this problem before. Anyone else have this problem or a solution? Or is it a case of Rolling back to an old driver and hoping the problem doesn't stick?
Thanks

Anyone have any ideas?

Direct Digital Output through Quicktime?

I've used iTunes for years (ever since my first iPod) and I've never had a problem with it. However two years ago I got a HiFi receiver. Nothing fancy or anything, but ever since I've been wondering if I could some how bypass my soundcard's DAC and get iTunes (through Quicktime? I'm assuming iTunes uses Quicktime to decode audio. If I'm wrong could someone please move this thread to the iTunes for Windows sub-forum?) to output directly to PCM through S/PDIF? My soundcard has the ports (both coaxial and Toslink), but the only way that I've so far found to do this is either with an Airport Express (which is pretty much $100 to connect my HiFi which is 2m away from my computer, although currently this is pretty much my only option) or through the 3rd party plugin, multi-plugin (and foobar 2000). Unfortunately multi-plugin doesn't support a version of iTunes that will support my iPod.
Does anybody know of any other way to get iTunes/Quicktime to output PCM directly and bypass my soundcard's DAC? I can get it to pass it to the soundcard, have the soundcard decode it and recode it to PCM/AC3, but that's basically going from digital to analogue to digital again which is a lossy conversion. 3rd party plugins are fine as long as they work with iTunes 7.4 or newer.
Plugging my iPod into the HiFi is not desirable as I would like to control the music from the computer.
Thank you for reading.

Anybody? Are there any 3rd party plugins for iTunes/Quicktime that I haven't heard of?

Digital ı/o problem in mseries 6229 daq card

In our lab, we have a 6229 M series daq card. We want to send digital output ,
( three square waves and their direction values for driving 3 dc motors.
We will change pulses or frequencies during application). we tried to send the signals from single lines
(altogether we need 6 lines.) but we failed. We could only send pulses from counter ports but
unfortunately there are only 2 counter ports. Can anybody help us about this problem?
If anybody could also send a labview 7.x program for this application we will be thankful.

Hi,
You can use the correlated dio functionality of your M series board to output digital waveforms. However, you will need to construct the waveform before actually outputting the data. Here is the link to another discussion forum with more information on this including links to examples: How do I output a digital waveform?

Iron Man 2 digital copy problem

I just purchased Iron Man 2 Blu-Ray with digital copy. Put the digital copy disk in my iMac. When prompted by iTunes I entered the code from the insert.
"This code has already been used. Each code may be used only once."
I've never had a problem with a digital copy import before. Is this a common problem? And who do I have to contact to try and prove that I just bought the disk and haven't used the code before?

I got this answer on line
Hello,
If the launcher isn’t working properly for you, you can also copy the movie files directly from the DVD. They are located in the WMV folder on the Digital Copy disc. Double-clicking on the either file should launch a window to enter your authorization code, or to begin playback of the movie if you have already successfully entered it. You can also drag and drop the files to your hard disk in your folder of choice after you successfully authenticate them. They should play without needing the disc.
Thanks!

ITunes naming and filing problems

Hi,
I’m currently recording weekly lectures on a Sony MP3 recorder. I then download the lectures into iTunes, and then onto my iPod so I can listen to them as necessary.
So each week I add a few more files to iTunes. First I drag the files from the Sony machine onto my desktop. Then I drag them into my folder of lecture recordings. Then I have one of two choice / one of two problems to solve:
1. Sometimes I rename the files here, but then when I drag them into iTiunes, the files in iTunes revert back to the original file names (date and time).
2. If I drag them into iTunes without naming them, I can then rename them in iTunes – BUT, this does not rename the files in my folder of lecture recordings.
It seems to be really problematic to match up the old and new files within iTunes. I have to scroll down through a long list of files, highlight the ones which should be associated, then “get info”, then rename the whole match, and someone this “moulds” them together as if an album. It’s quite boring and laborious. Maybe I’m doing something wrong.
I seem to have a similar problem when importing a CD which is not recognised and therefore has no artist name of track names. A dozen tracks just end up spread throughout my library and I have to work out which “track 1” and which “track 2” I want and then glue them together as an album in “get info”. Am I doing something wrong? Is there an easier way of doing this?
Another problem I’m having. Why do some CDs keep reverting to the “Compilations” folder. For example: I have a two-CD set of U2 Joshua Tree. The first CD (the “album”) is filed under “U2”, but the second CD (the extras and b-sides) keeps moving back to “compilations”. The annoying thing is that they’re never adjacent on my iPod (but they are in iTunes). Various other “best of” CDs always end up in compilations, as if “various artists”, when they’re by a specific artist. My Beatles Anthology 3 CDs WILL NOT let me download the English song titles. The song titles are all in what looks to me like Japanese. These little thing are quite annoying.
If anyone can clarify any of the above, it would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.

So the Sony recorder is initialising the tag with the date & time of creation. iTunes will use the filename as an initial value for a track name if & only if there is no tag present in the file on import. You could use a 3rd party tool to edit the tags before import to iTunes if you wanted.
2. If I drag them into iTunes without naming them, I can then rename them in iTunes – BUT, this does not rename the files in my folder of lecture recordings.
iTunes will only rename the files if you have the option *Keep iTunes Media folder organised* selected and you either place these files somewhere inside the iTunes Media folder before import or have *Copy to iTunes Media folder when importing* selected.

Click on the heading for the Date Added column once or twice to put your library into descending date added order. This will sort the most recent imports at the top of the list making it east to access the tracks you need ot edit. For general guidance on getting iTunes to organise your tracks sensibly see my previous post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums.

You can type in the info. before importing or use date added to gather the items you need to edit.

See Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist and One cover for multi-disc album in the post mentioned above.
My Beatles Anthology 3 CDs WILL NOT let me download the English song titles. The song titles are all in what looks to me like Japanese.
iTunes will try to match your CD with the CDDB database. Generally it gives the first possible match with no option for alternatives. Sometimes you can fool it into fetching the right data by altering the title slightly. I've just searched manually and found an entry for THE Beatles Anthology 3 (Disc. You could try changing the album title to this then selecting the tracks and using *Advanced > Get CD Track Names*. Failing that, edit by hand.
These little things are quite annoying.
If anyone can clarify any of the above, it would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
Hopefully that sheds a little light...

Sudden increase in Verizon FIOS internet & digital voice problems. No resolutions.

We have had Verizon FIOS internet since Jan. 2008. It has been reasonably reliable. No disconnects... until mid-Dec 2012 when they started with a vengeance. E-mail connections dropped (we had to re-start Outlook). Usually, we couldn't "see" them in internet connections, but ping tests proved that they were occurring between aboaut 4 p.m. and midnight, rarely, if ever, during other hours of the day.
We have had Verizon FIOS digital telephone (conversion from analog) for about one year. It has reasonably reliable until mid-Dec when multiple problems occurred: no stutter tone for voice mail, no notification on telephone "screen" for voice mail, no callers' names on "screen" (only "Out of Area"), and so on. Each time, Verizon re-sets "the line" and it's okay for 24 to 36 hours, maybe 48 hours, if we're lucky.
We've called repair over 20 times, which is above and beyond what sane people would do. Now, we've had EEE-NUFF.
Has anyone had the same experiences? If yes, how did you resolve them?
We're ready to chuck Verizon, but we haven't heard anything good about the few competitors around here. That is, we don't want to go from the frying pan into the fire, BUT we want the above-noted problems fixed.
Thank you.

Digital Output problem once again (WIN XP, Audigy

I searched the forums with no luck, actually I searched the whole internet with no luck - so far.
My problems in a nutcase:
- I can't find the button for Digital Output (the one which enables it, Windows XP's sound mixer used to have that option with some ?windows build?, but I can't find it since I installed creative drivers, it's just gone...).
- If I find the digital output on-button with your help, is it even possible hear music with add-ons trough digital-optical cable or should I buy some mono-cable? :O
To be specific:
I have the Creative Audigy 4 Bulk, which of course supports SPDIF Digital output. I bought expesi've optical cable that I could finally use my hifi 5. speakers with movies trought computer. I have new 700 euro amplifier, and it supports everything, so the problem isn't with that one, anyways, let's get touch with the real problem.
What ever drivers I'm using, I can't find the digital output section anywhere. Creative drivers has one SPDIF-button, but it affects nowhere. So, I can't even get the Digital Sound on, because windows mixer has no button for that with my windows xp, weird. I also tried to install windows vista, and there wasn't either any options, where I could put the digital output on.
Which drivers and which add-ons should I install to get that Digital Output to work.
If I manage to find the button for digital output from some drivers, can I also listen music while it's connected via optical-digital cable, or am I just able to hear sound from dolby digital movies? Is it even possible to get everything work with my optical cable (music/games and movies at the same time).

. Your card doesn't have optical output, only "coaxial" digital. You will need a stereo (or camcorder) cable with one mini jack on one end and 2 (or 3) RCA connectors on the other. The white RCA will be the one you need.
The setting is on the "Creative AudioHQ" at the "Surround Mixer" selection. It is called "Digital Output Only". Or if you use the little icon on the taskbar, at the "Speakers" on "Speaker Selection" you have the same option (a check mark under the selection of speakers).
2. If you read the FAQ, you will get surround sound (5.) ONLY from DVD-Video that are encoded in DolbyDigital or DTS and ONLY if you pass-trough the digital signal to the receiver to do the decoding. In ALL other cases you will get STEREO PCM signal.
3. If your receiver is a decent one you should have an analog surround input (5. analog input). in that one you can plug the analog outputs from your card in order to have surround sound all the time (like in the games).
