Setup scan to folder on HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw

Question

hello,
I am trying to set up my printer to scan to a nework folder.
HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw 
OSX 10.9.4
WLAN (both printer and desktop on same network)
Here's the problem; no matter what I try, I cannot get the printer to scan directly to a network folder.
When testing the connection I either get the "invalid password or username" or the "cannot connect to network folder" error.
It seems the biggest issue is refering the printer to the right network folder.
I've shared the folder, but I cannot get a valid path name it seems.
The folder properties show: /Users/vdlely/Dropbox/max verhuur/Scans
Obviously this is not complete; I need to add the location of the machine, like: //iMac-van-AJ/Users/vdlely/Dropbox/max verhuur/Scans right?
No matter what kind of combination I try, nothing works. I've used computer name, IP, with and without login etc etc
What is the correct pathname in my case?
It would me MUCH easier if you'd added a simple browser to browse to the right location.
Please help me set it up right.

Hi @Frederikcs ,
I'd like to help you with setting up the Scan to Network Folder.
Here is another post that might have clearer instructions for Yosemite that you may take a look at.
Re: Identifyin​g the scan file for the Laserjet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw on a MacBookPro.
To get the IP address for the computer, go to the Apple, System Preferences, Sharing and then select File Sharing.
You will see the IP address on that window.
This is the information to enter into the Scan to Network folder from the printer's EWS, click the Scan tab, click Network Folder Setup, and then click New.
Network Path: \\computer's IP\folder name that you created.
Example: \\192.168.22.104\scan
