I had the same “email transmission error” on my pro 901. Worked fine for a year and then got the error. I use a gmail account to send from on the printer. I went into the smtp settings and changed my user name from xxxxxx to xxxxxx@gmail.com and changed the security to plain from nothing. Not sure which change fixed it. I use port 587 as outgoing. Works fine now.

Evernote looks really Cool, I hate resolving our office printer due to the poor design of inbuilt software, I like the sound of one tap going to read more. Thx

Mac and Sharif, you need to set the printer up to send the emails *using your own email account*. The printer itself doesn’t have an email account built in.

If you have a gmail account, or a Google Apps account, follow these instructions. https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13287 Otherwise, ask your ISP for instructions.

Sounds like I’m having the same “not so easy” problem.

I’ve synced the evernote with my online Lexmark account, and it successfully added the Evernote icon to my printer.

But when I click it, I’m asked to set up an email account. I’ve tried twice to set up my email account, using the settings I have from my email client to no avail.

Is there help anywhere here?

Hey guys, I am having the same problem. Scan to evernote in lexmark printer is asking for email address, server, smtp, wharever, but I just mentioned it before in the smartsolutions app in the smartsolutions web. Can anyone help-me? thanks in advance for your help.

I also have exactly the same “email transmission error”problem. It happened only sometimes on a previous 905 printer (this is my second because the first one just fell apart) but this printer suddenly stopped sending emails at all. If anyone has figured out how to solve it, I’d be grateful. I think this is the last straw.

Since the printer has a five-year warranty, I’m told they will simply give you a store credit after your third issue. This is now my third issue, as tech support sent me an 805 by mistake. I must say, this has been a really frustrating experience. I’m ready to switch to a ScanSnap.

@John I wondered if you had figured out how to remove this transmission error… I’m getting this error off and on for the last 4 months. I have searched everywhere for a solution. Thanks.

What is the SMTP server address in order to get the “Scan to Evernote” function to work? I’ve successfully added it to my S605 MFP but when I push the button, the screen says that my email has not been set up yet. When I enter my evernote account email address, the printer then asks for the SMTP server name?

Yet another unhappy Lexmark customer bought the Interact S605 just for this application, guess what? It doesn’t work!

What about the newer Lexmark models “Pinnacle Pro901″ and the “Platinum Pro905″? These both seem to have the touchscreen UI, and I would think they are generational refreshes of the models discussed here. I’m very interested in getting an all-in-one solution to ease the scanning of a couple hundred sheets of old bills and such. Can anyone shed some light on whether these new models are integrated with Evernote?
