What usually causes it

  • The share or subfolder name was typed incorrectly in the destination.
  • The folder was renamed, moved, or replaced after the address-book entry was created.
  • The server name is correct, but the share/path portion of the destination no longer matches the server.

What to try

Step 1

Write down the saved SMB path

Separate the server/host name from the shared-folder path so you can verify the right part.

Step 2

Compare it with the actual share

On the destination computer or server, confirm the exact share name and any required subfolder.

Step 3

Correct only the path portion that is wrong

Keep working credentials and network settings unchanged if the server itself is already reachable.

Step 4

Retry the original scan

After the path matches a real shared folder, send the same document again before making unrelated SMB or DNS changes.

After each corrective action

Retry the same operation that produced 16712712. If it now works, stop there rather than changing unrelated printer, network, supply, or service settings.

If the code returns

If 16712712 returns with an exact verified path, confirm the printer is connecting to the intended server and not an old address, alias, or DFS target.

When service may be needed

A wrong shared path is an address-book/server configuration problem. Printer service is not normally needed unless the device cannot retain a correct documented destination.
