Adding a port?

    Hi all,

    I have a HP Color Laserjet printer and I'm having problems using the "scan to folder" function.

    I've gone to the HP website and I've found out that I need to have certain ports open.

    When I do a netstat I should see:

    0.0.0.0:5225 Listening
    0.0.0.0:5226 Listening
    xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5226 Established

    However, there's no 5225 or 5226 when I do a netstat.

    Anyone know how do I add ports 5225 and 5226!?

    Is the HP printer connected to a router/switch? If you've got a firewall on your machine you'll need to open these ports to allow communication. How you do this will vary on what firewall software you're using.

    It's actually just a usb connection I'm using. I also have a wireless print server, the scanning wont work on that either.

    All I'm getting is Scanning Error - Cannot Connect

    You can't add ports, they're there by default. If you can't access certain your probably blocking them through a firewall

    I'm guessing that HP have software that you need installed to Open this port and listen on it. You probably don't have the software installed. Any other stuff on the CD that came with your printer?

    If you've software installed then I would start looking on firewall side of things.
