Doing a course on this machine this week, one of the first course modules was performing SMB scanning.
I've had no issues setting up SMB scanning on my laptop with Win7 on emperon machines, and for that matter, those same machines with Fiery controllers.
I was able to set up an XP laptop for SMB scanning with the setup, but I'll be damned if I could get Win7 to accept the scan.
All indications from the machine are that the scans go through, yet nothing appears in the shared folder.
I have a fixed IP to the laptop, used two different login IDs (my own which is my first and last name with a space between and the second, a temporary...called temporary). Both are password protected. The share is simple, all permissions to write and read and erase selected.
The fiery shares the same workgroup, DNS identical.
I had set the SMB program using the IP of the laptop, the share name, login name (both tried) and password. I had tried appending both login names with the domain\name provision and without.
I am at a loss as to why the scan ultimately fails. What throws me even further is the Fiery log indicates a success, in spite of the fact the scanned document is never seen by the laptop.
I even did a remote desktop session into the fiery to see if it could see my share, and initially this looked like the problem...I set a login name and password to view the share and tried to scan again, but still it failed to transfer the file.
I've yet to remove the password, which I suspect might be a part of the problem.
Not sure why it works on XP, but not Win7....a bit perplexing.
Thoughts????
