Until Apple or HP post an update (and this may be long, because it is due to the choice of Apple to update to SMB 3.0), the solution from Hedgert, consisting of setting up an alternate SMB server on your mac, using SMBUp!, is fine. Thus, to avoid this to others, it is useless to deinstall the printer, download the new drivers (530 Mb), and to reinstall the printer. Some posts on this forum are about the inability to scan using the Officejet Pro 8600, but our problem is indeed the ability to scan FROM the printer TO a network folder. So if you don't like smbup or when HP finally wake up and release a printer firmware upgrade, we can revert to native OSX file sharing. But I also tested that using the uninstall option in smbup restores native OSX file sharing again. (Native OSX file sharing options now have no effect - so you have to set up all shares you want in smbup. ![]() It's a messy workaround and HP need to deliver their solution so OSX native file sharing can be used, but it is a work around. Then the HP printer page test worked successfully and I was finally able to scan a page to my iMac on OSX Yosemite. You have to set up a share with users defined in smbup (it doesn't use OSX users) and you need to turn off the read only and guest options so it actually uses the user/password that has write access (otherwise the printer config page reports "no write access" when you test it.īut having done all that (and turned the read only config settings off) and clicked the padlock (supplied OSX password) and then started the samba server. I downloaded smbup and then ran the install accepting the options to download and install the necessary packages (it's 47MB). I turned off OSX file sharing before installing smbup. So my workaround is blunt - to replace the Yosemite samba implementation (not actually removing it, turning it off) and installing the 3rd part Samba implementation smbup. Alas like my previous research into the nf file this new config file and setting seems to have absolutely no effect under Yosemite. ![]() I found a number of references to a parameter in this file called ProtocolVersionMap that set to 1 or 2 would restrict the smb mode to version 1 or 2, which is what we need up until HP get their act together. Another blind alley eliminated first is the file /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/.plist
