HOWTO: Acessing memory card reader on HP all-in-one through network

[ionospheric]

Here's how to access the memory card on an HP all-in-one:

(for example, to copy pictures from a digital camera to the computer)

I used the information from this page
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...name=c00149194

Steps:

1. Find out the IP address of the printer

2. Create a mount point

sudo mkdir /mnt/HP6100

3. Mount the device

mount -t smbfs //192.168.0.6/Memory_Card  /mnt/HP6100

Note: make sure you have SMBFS installed before you try to mount

sudo apt-get install smbfs

Thanks man, now I can use my Officejet as a NAS (well sort of). Great!

An easy alternative is simply to open Nautilus, click on connect to server in the <File> menu and choose <Windows Share> as the type of connection. Enter the IP address of the printer and then enter Memory_Card as the share name and off you go!

I use this method with my HP Officejet 7410.
