Hi Dvortex
Thanks for this... i know it's been some time since you replied but I've not had a chance to get this working and I tried your response but as it didn't work I just parked it.
Well network scanning is now back on the agenda and I'm getting frustrated with myself as to why I cannot get this working, it seems like all the ingredients are there but I don't have the right recipe!
One of my concerns is mucking up the printer so that it doesn't then print for either me or my wife or even Airprint from our iPads and iPhones all in the persuit of some network scanning which is used infrequently. However, I'm just starting to find that I need to network scan more often and having this not working seems daft when the printer has the setting.
Is there any further information I can provide that I haven't already put.
I know my computer's IP address
I have put my shared folder on the desktop of my computer
I know my printer's IP address
Any advice anyone has would be much appreciated at this stage.
Thanks
Tim
