Greetings,

Likely a typo, but your SMTP address is incorrect....

 

Not sure if this is a personal gmail address or Gsuite for business??

 

Either way.

 

Gmail uses ports 465, 587 or 993 with TLS or STARS/TLS for authentication. 

 

Google these settings and modify the config on the printer.

 

Also, it is sometimes neccessary to enable allow "Less Secure Apps" to connect in your account settings in order for some clients to work properly. 

 

If you are using 2 factor auth, an App Password has to be created and used. 

 

All of this information is available on the web. Good Luck 🙂

Good catch, shadowsports! Gmail is spelled incorrectly! 

 

And I believe you might also be right about "Less secure apps." Google recently (within the last few years) made some strict-ish security changes that requires third party access to have a special use password. I remember using this when I sat my own printer up. 

 

NOTE: I am NOT a tech for this product. I'm just weighing in on the conversation.

Thanks it was Google it needing a "Less Secure Apps" to connect in your account settings in order for some clients to work properly.
