Hi all,
I'm having some issues with my Samsung multifucntion printer/scanner and wondered if there might be an altruistic soul out there willing to spend a couple of minutes helping me to figure it out.
My printer is a Samsung SCX-3405W, which I connect to over the network. I've been using the Samsung Unified Linux drivers, which worked flawlessly under Kubuntu 13.10 amd64 - both the printer and the scanner (which was effortlessly detected with Xsane, Simplescan, Skanlite...). After doing a fresh install of Kubuntu 14.04 amd64, I can no longer get the scanner to work (printing works fine)
I installed, just as the previous time, "suld-driver-4.00.36" and "suld-configurator-2-qt4".
None of my scanning apps detects the scanner (Skanlight, Xsane...). Suld-configurator doesn't detect it either. I removed "suld-driver-4.00.36" and installed 4.00.39.
No changes.
Code:
$ sudo scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
- "suld-network-2" is the latest version.
- Have already gone through all the steps in the "Scanner Questions" troubleshooting in the SULD scanning troubleshooting section.
- Added my user to the "lp" group
- The scanner isn't being detected by my system:
Code:
/opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/netdiscovery --all --scanner
# DEBUG: Network printers discovery utility
Code:
/opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/netdiscovery -s --snmp
# DEBUG: Network printers discovery utility
- Both devices (laptop and scanner) are on the same network.
- Firewall is disabled
- Tested the scanner on a friend's laptop (Xubuntu 13.10 amd64) using 4.00.36 drivers, and it works fine.
I've already asked around in the SULD forums, and was told that:
I suspect that something, perhaps the SANE version, that changed from 13.10 to 14.04 is the actual problem.
Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to solve this? I'm self-employed and use the scanner on an almost daily basis, and would be infinitely greatful if someone could help me check this out / point me in the right direction. Any additional info I can provide to make diagnosis more reliable, let me know!
Thanks in advance!
