Hi there, I hope I am not posting on the wrong forum but I'm at a loss here.
We just bought a Xerox Phaser 8860 MFP for our office. After countless hours trying to get the network scan going, I am still at the starting line.
I tried to configure all this from my 2.16 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running 10.7.2, then 10.7.3. We have an Ethernet network, with an HP ProCurve Switch 1400-24 G, connected to the internet though a ZyXEL P660HW-D1 router. I access the network through a TimeCapsule connected by Ethernet to my iMac and to the switch (the TimeCapsule creates a Wireless network too but I guess that's beside the point). The Phaser 8860 is connected to the switch.
I can scan to the printer folder and view and download the scan from the web application of the printer (available by entering the Phaser 8860's IP in a web browser). But apparently the only way Xerox allows to create network folders is through the Xerox Scan Utility (that's the only way I have found, at any rate), and I am absolutely ignorant as to other ways of doing this.
Of course, the mentioned utility doesn't work. It opens alright, but none of the scanned files stored in the 8860 hard drive appear in any of the tabs (copy to folder, scan to email, etc.). Apparently, the file sharing SMB option must be activated (and it is), and that's how I ended up in this thread - I thought that might be the problem.
The funny thing is I tried with a Windows 7 Professional partition in my MBP, installed all the drivers, and the same Xerox Scan Utility... to no avail. The same exact problem as with my iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.3. I can access the 8860, I can see all the options under whatever extremely annoying controllers Windows offers (sorry, I've been a Mac user since I was 6), apparently the TWAIN controller is all set and good to go... But the scan utility still sees no files in the Phaser (or rather doesn't seem to be able to connect to the Phaser).
I tried using SMBUp as wrxtasy suggested on the thread I mentioned, and still no go.
Can anybody offer some thoughts on this?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Miguel
