I have a HP Officejet Pro L7680 printer that a ethernet capabilities. I am
able to print wirelessly without any problems. It has a scan feature that
allows me to send scanned items to a network folder. When I go to My Network
Places on my Dell Inspirion laptop running Windows XP SP2 I see my network
workgroup name. When I click on it I receive the following error:
"you might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the
administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions"

My intention is to create a folder on that network so that the HP printer
knows where to store my scanned images. Please let me know if this is not
possible.

Other than checking my firewall settings is there anything else I need to
check so I can open my network workgroup without any issues?

Currently the laptop is not networked to any other computers.

Thanks for looking.
