printing - If i could print across network, why can't i scan? -
i purchased hp deskjet wifi-enabled printer (model no. 3515). set both me (in same network printer) person few miles apart me (having different isp mine) print wirelessly successfully.
the printing across network (printing network other printer connected) has been set-up , tested both through google cloud print , hp eprint software.
however, when comes scanning across network, or cloud scan may call it, none of these 2 support, or about, it. talking hp customer care executive fruitless expectedly got no better answer 'it not possible'. also, unfortunately, have not found worthwhile on internet regarding either.
what understand - if printing done wirelessly across network, scanning. after all, in both same thing in opposite direction. is, in layman's terms, if not wrong, in printing convert digital information hardcopy document, , in scanning other way round.
please correct me if assuming many things wrong.
hp eprint email based, i.e. printer acts email client polls mailbox print jobs. when print cloud, printjob goes printer's mailbox , printer fetches job there. pretty one-way, in sense send off print job , hope gets printed , there can many different clients submitting print jobs same printer.
scanning more complex , requires working two-way communication, i.e. computer interacting scanner tell do preview scan, selecting scannable areas/size, setting resolutions, etc. while getting instantaneous responses , data scanner. not feasible via mailbox, , @ least not via printer's mailbox cannot read results mailbox.
you think possible scanner send scanned pages your mailbox, guess implementation not there yet. there security implications, such bad idea start scan job remote location, because bad guy try scan whatever secret document happen have placed in scanner. if initiate scan scanner , there select email address send results to, should secure enough. guess developers @ hp saving features next generation of multi-purpose devices can sell new device next year.. :)
