Scan to Network Folder Not
Date:January 29, 2012
To bad the scan to network folder actually does not work. Well not for me anyway. Trying to get the printer setup to scan to network folders on my Segate GoFlex home 2TB drive fails every time. The HP software just refuses to see that network drive, no matter what I have tried so the setup just bombs.

Scan to email and network share
Date:August 7, 2011
It can do what it say. It can send email to smtp server without PC. Also it can send to network share without PC. Yes, the article is unclear, 8500A plus have a web page setup for smtp and network share. It may more easy for people to understand it's ture feature.

Scaning to email w/o pc
Date:June 20, 2011
Like other reviewers I landed in this page because I am looking for a AIO printer that can scan to email without needing a pc. I see that other reviewers are complaining saying this is a misleading article since you still need a pc to accomplish this but after reading this article I disagree. It looks to me like the pc is needed only for setup but after that you don't need it, which seems reasonable. Here is a link to a youtube video showing the printer doing this without a pc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuJ09-_4aZc

Scan To Email Time/Date Wrong - HP Won't Fix!
Date:May 18, 2011
The HP8500A Scan-To-Email function puts the wrong time/date into the email header. It is off by 14 hours when received and appears down in the email list so recipients may completely miss the email!! I reported this in January and Tier-2 Tech support have verified this is a firmware bug. I was recently told that this will NOT be a priority for HP to fix!! HP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT SELLING FLAWED PRODUCTS AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS!!!

Misleading
Date:May 2, 2011
Like the first reviewer mentioned, most technically literate people are probably finding this article via a web search for "scan directly to folder" or something similar because they're looking for a less-than-enterprise cost device capable of scanning directly to a network folder or to email without the need for a PC. This article doesn't help someone looking for a solution like that because this device doesn't provide those functions. That's unfortunate, and not useful to those landing here.

Waste of time
Date:March 1, 2011
Reading this article I found it to be misleading. I'm interested in a AIO printer that can "Scan to E-mail". This article hints about it, without giving a little detail of how this is done. I need a AIO that emails from the printer, like the 4345 MFP. This one only scans to a PC that is E-mail capable. The printer is doing the e-mailing, the PC is. So, that is just scan to PC to email from PC.
