Konica Minolta SMB Error 16712692

The SMB server was reached, but it rejected the printer's account because that user does not have permission for the requested destination.

Error meaning

SMB access was rejected because the user lacks permission.

This meaning is tied to the reviewed family/platform and subsystem below; do not reuse the number or wording by itself on a different printer family or protocol.

  • 16712692
  • smb-16712692

What usually causes it

  • The saved SMB account lost share or file-system write permission.
  • The destination folder inherited new permissions that exclude the printer account.
  • The account is valid but is only allowed to read the share, not create or modify files.

What to try

Step 1

Confirm the exact account used by the printer

Identify the SMB user name configured for this destination; do not test with a different administrator account and assume the printer account has the same rights.

Step 2

Check both share and folder permissions

On the destination server, verify the printer account can create a small file in the target folder and that both share-level and file-system permissions allow it.

Step 3

Check for a recent permission or group change

If scanning worked before, review group membership, inherited ACLs, or folder moves that could have removed write access.

Step 4

Retry using the intended least-privilege account

Restore only the permissions needed for the scan destination, then retry the same job. Avoid granting broad administrator rights as a shortcut.

After each corrective action

Retry the same operation that produced 16712692. If it now works, stop there rather than changing unrelated printer, network, supply, or service settings.

If the code returns

If 16712692 returns despite verified write permission, have the server administrator review the access-denied event for the printer account and confirm the printer is reaching the expected share.

When service may be needed

This is a server authorization issue, not a printer mechanism failure. Escalate to the file-server administrator if the account and destination are correct.
