How can I get my scanned pictures to save directly to an external drive, without anything saving to my compute?
mont121793 asked:
I have a HP psc scanner, I am scanning some pictures and I want them saved directly to my external hard drive but I can’t find out how. I am using HP Photo & Imaging Gallery. I can get it to save to my hard drive but it first saves a copy to my hard drive on my computer. How can I stop it from saving a copy to my internal hard drive?

You really can’t. A scanner needs some kind of graphics program to operate. It is a program like paint, photoshop or whatever. Maybe a stripped down version but still the same. It needs it to know what area to scan or which orientation ie landscape or portrait and of this kind of stuff.
Then this photoshop program needs to save it how ever you tell it to, which is usually on your computer. You may be able to use the settings in this program to have it’s temp and save folders direct to your external drive. It could possibly work, but the image initially coming from the scanner is way big, and also there is a chance your program may not like an external drive for this. You could then try another photo program, but I wouldn’t bother with it if I were you.

As said, you can’t. But you can save directly from the paint-photoshop-program to wherever you want.

If you have a USB drive or stick, just plug it in and when you scan, you can select where to save to.
Choose the external drive or the plugged in USB device. You can save it.
If I can save and scan to a network computer, I can save to any other devices. It will work
