KonicaMinolta C253 Cannot scan to FTP after Snow Leopard upgrade

I finally got the printer set up with an IP address so I could deal with the loss of AppleTalk since upgrading this machine to SL, but cannot get the scanner to send files back to the upgraded Mac. All the settings appear to be correct, and the Bizhub scans and sends fine to all the other computers still running Tiger and Leopard, but I get an instantaneous "Cannot connect to network" error when I try to scan and send something to this Intel iMac with SL.

The IP for the computer in question is programmed correctly into the Bizhub, user and password are correct, but there is something blocking the connection back to the computer. I can ping the computer, it can browse and print just fine, and firewall is turned off.

KonicaMinolta is no help, and just verified that the settings were correct. Unfortunately, they don't work. What step am I missing that's different in Snow Leopard?

G5 Quad, iMac G5 20, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

With Snow Leopard, only AFP is enabled by default when you enable File Sharing. To get FTP enabled, you will need to go to System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing and select the Options button. In the next pane you can select FTP and press Done. Now back at the File Sharing view, you will see a dialog that shows the URL for other computers (and the Bizhub) to use to connect to this Mac.
