scan from printer to pdf file via a network












0















OS. Fedora 28 64 bit gnome fully up dated
Printer Brother MFC-J6530DW
Fixed IP addresses XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WW2 for the printer
Fixed IP address for the Computer XXX/YYY.ZZZ.WW3 for the Computer
The printer printed from the Fedora machine with no problems.



Now I want to be able to put a document on the tray or multiple pages in the Document feeder and press the "scan" "network" and the profile button and the documents will be scanned and a PDF copy put into the designated folder on the Fedora box.
I have set up a folder /home/USER-NAME/Scanned_Docs
I have changed the permissions to give everyone access.
Setting the profile in the SCAN profile I put in a path
//XXX.YYY.ZZZ.WW3/home/USER-NAME/Scanned_Docs but I get an error.
I have tried to google the error but get no hits.



Error
Test Error
Server timeout, this message will appear when you can not connect to the server
Make sure that:
The Server address is correct.
Your Server is connected to the network
the machine is connected to the network
ECODE: 0x00002010, -32, 0xFFFFFDA7.



Yes the Server IP address is correct and I can see it on teh network from other machines.
I can ping the printer from the Fedora machine
I can ping the Fedora machine from other machines
Yes the printer is connected to the network, I can print to the machine via the network from the fedora machine, USB and WIFI connections are NOT used.



I have tied the windows format to specify the path but nothing works.
I have installed Samba thinking that the printer may require a SMB protocol to work. But I can not seem to get Samba to work. I get a user listed when I run;
net usershare =L -v.



I have added share group, and a user to the group, set the path in Samba and set the samba conf as per the Serverworld for fedora 28 Samba scan to file all users set passwords etc.



Would be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction or can provide a complete how too.



Have a friend h=who has a HP Officejet 8710 who wants to do teh saem but he is running Fedora 29.



Thanks
Thanks
