Q: Scanned files and new permissions?
I recently installed an HP multifunction scanner in my office. I have 4 iMacs on the network(home base ethernet switch/modem if that matters) running el capitan 10.11. This scanner has a scan to network folder feature and it seems to me that each new scan to the folder I designate, becomes inaccessible to other users/computers on the network. I've tried multiple folder locations, shared, public, etc and set permissions to everyone, specific users etc but each new document's permissions are restricted only to the admin user. If I place any other files in these folders permissions are maintained and other users have no issue accessing them, it seems only the scanned items. Its interesting that if I use the HP easy scan application on the iMac to activate the scan and direct it to the folder of my choosing I do not have this problem, only when using the "scan to network" feature on the actual machine. This setup requires designating the folder path in the hp software. HP seems a little stumped so far, so I thought I would ask here.
Any ideas?
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
