Problem with HP LJ 3055 MFP - will not "scan to folder" on XP Pro machine

Am having a problem with an HP LJ 3055 MFP at my brother's office. It will not "scan to folder" no matter what I do. Have followed all of the steps listed in the manuals. Have run HP's own wizard for setting this up -- nothing works. The printer says that the user does not have enough permissions to write to the folder. Have checked the permissions and they are all good.

Not on a domain, workgroup only. Simple file sharing is turned off. Will have to double check the security, but the user has administrator rights. Will try name of the PC along with username.

Unfortunately, won't be able to try again till Tuesday. Will update! Thanks!!!

Still waiting on the chance to try all of the excellent suggestions! Will be able to try again tomorrow.
It turned out that all of your suggestions were part of what was needed, but the final item was turning off the firewall. Even though I had set the local network to trusted, it was still blocking the connection. The HP Rep walked me through it.
