Setting up SMTP Gateway for HP multifunction's scan to email configuration

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Peripherals/Printers_Scanners/Q_22123034.html

Question: We have a HP laserjet 4100 mfp that when we try to send
email, comes back and says "email gateway is not configured."
Can someone help me in setting this up?


Best answers:

Make sure that you have all these settings correct on the device:

IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway
DNS server(s)
SMTP server
If any of the above is wrong, email will fail.

Additionally, it may fail for one of the following reasons:

Authentication required to send email- if this is the cause you will need to configure the device to login with a username and password.
Relay blocking -if this is the cause you will need to configure the server to allow relays from the device.
Certificates required-if this is the case, you will need to set up a certificate for the device.

-------------------
i just had a look at there online manual (it is crap) but here we go.
Use the following procedure to find and configure your SMTP and LDAP gateways:
Select Find Send Gateways, in the I/O menu.
    If the search is successful, the addresses are set automatically. If it does not find either gateway, or another gateway address is preferred, enter them manually.

Step 14: Set the e-mail gateway addresses manually
   Use the following procedure to set the e-mail gateway address manually:
       Select SMTP Gateway, in the I/O menu and enter the gateway address.
       (forget about this for now, no need to complicate the situation) Select LDAP Gateway, in the I/O menu and enter the gateway address.
       Select Test Send Gateways to check the addresses have been configured correctly.

Domino shouldnt make any differance as it is just sending via SMTP so as long as outlook works so should the HP.

Create Multiple BSSIDs

 
In case you are confused as to the difference between SSID and BSSID, the author of this tutorial explains it nicely:
 
"There's much confusion about what the difference is between a SSID and a BSSID. Some routers can only create multiple SSIDs while others can create multiple BSSIDs. For now, it's only important to know that multiple BSSIDs is what you want if your router supports it. A BSSID is a truly seperate interface with its own MAC address, while multiple SSIDs share the same MAC address confusing many wireless clients (like PDAs) causing them to be unable to see some or all of the created wireless networks."
 
This is why you do not hear much about BSSID because all consumer wireless routers that I know, there is only one SSID.

Completely Remove programs from Windows

When you uninstall a program in Windows, most of the time, there are
residual files and settings left behind, namely DLL files and registry
keys. These residuals can muck up other programs that share the same
DLLs. These program will help you do a more thorough clean up.
