Network Share via Server Essentials

[Mason64]

Hi,

I have a server that i have Server Essentials 2012 R2 installed and running fine.

i have a Network printer that is not on the domain but i want to be able to scan to a folder.

Is this possible with out the printer being on the domain? When i input the address \\userpc\scans in to the printer i keep getting share not found.

What is the best way to do this? The printer used to scan to network fine until i put the pc on the domain.

Thank You in advance for any help.

thats what i cant understand, what username and password do i use?

I am using SMB on the printer.

i will try using the IP Address tomorrow see if that fixes it.

What i have done is on the root of the c drive, create a folder called scans, right click and shared the folder for everyone - set full permission.

thanks for the help so far.

Yes i can ping the printer fine as i can print from it with no problems.

Its all connected wired network cable with static ip addresses and is working just fine on the network for printing.

I will try adding the admin username and password of the domain in. Or i will make a new admin with the user scan and see what happens.

Thanks
Dave
