I'm trying to access the sdcard that is inserted in my HP Officejet Pro 8500A.
My research shows that it should be accessible via
The IP and the folder memory_card
. For instance if the printer's ip is: 192.168.1.33
:
For Windows:
\\192.168.1.33\memory_card
For Unix:
smb://192.168.1.33/memory_card
On my Windows machine you can browse or share the folder from the file browser without a username or password prompt. However, on Ubuntu I'm getting a username and password prompt when I try to browse or connect to the resource using Nautilus or any of the other file browsers such as Nemo.
I also tried to mount it with gvfs-mount
as what I do with many other shares that has passwords. It still prompts for a username and password, whereas there isn't in this case.
More research shows solutions such as providing "guest/hp" for the "username/password" (https://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~klada/?site=projects&id=hpmem).
I tried this command:
$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.15.90/memory_card /mnt/ -o username=guest,password=hp
It has the following permission error:
mount error(13): Permission denied
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
I've been trying to search for a cifs option that recognizes there isn't a user name or password to for the share.
