Hello.
I am attempting to setup a Ricoh Aficio MP 161 to scan to a share on a windows 7 home premium laptop.
The error is basically bad password.
"Dest. authentication failed. Check settings and check Scanned File Status."
The scanned file status just says: error
- I created a user call Scanner on the PC and made sure it was an administrator and created a password for this user.
- The firewall turned off.
- Created a Share and made sure the share has been given access to "everyone". (I would love to lock this down later but have had trouble with this on other Ricohs)
- File and printer sharing on.
- Double checked the destination. Tried IP and hostname.
- Triple checked username and password for the Scanner user. I used PC-Name\Scanner and also just Scanner.
I prefer to use the hostname but also tested with the IP, and both failed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sean
