I'm dealing with this at a customer who purchased one. Scanning to a network destination really means "scanning to HP's software installed on a PC which will then put the file in the destination." Scanning directly to FTP or SMB is not available.
UPDATE: Basically, this printer is good for a small office that isn't using a central server for all documents - if everyone in the office is running off local PCs and storing files locally, this lets each user scan directly to their PC.
Basically, you install the HP software on the destination system(s) (Windows or possibly a Mac), then go through the configuration wizard on each machine to configure the available document types (photos, documents) and destinations (directories, email) on that PC. Automatic file naming is along the lines of "hpscan1.pdf," or you can choose to be prompted for a file name each time. When scanning to the network, you hit the "Scan Menu" button on the device, then pick the kind of scan (Scan to PC), then select the PC, then select the destination on that PC.
I'm amazed that with years to work on it HP hasn't managed to come up with a better solution. This level of functionality is what I'd expect from a low-end system intended for home use plugged directly into a PC, not what I expect in a business-targeted device at this high a price point.Get more detail about HP CM2320fxi Color LaserJet Multifunction Printer.
