That's kinda why I say that if I can't scan with it, then it's not much use to me. It was given to me for free and TBH I don't have a ton of money to spend on a lot of examples so I have to deal with what I have available. =^.^=ĮDIT: OMG, what a POS! 16 years old with a USB2 and PARALLEL connector! Get yourself a machine using a little more recent technology.I understand your misgivings but this machine is part of a collection of machines that I am using to support Linux SANE drivers with, in particular the xerox_mfp backend. If you have an RJ45 connection, use TCP/IP. Not sure about this model, but most do not support scanning via USB.
However, there is nothing in there for the SCX-4100.Ĭould anyone point me in the direction of an original stock firmware for this machine? Someone did point me to here: for a support/driver dump presumably from when HP took over Samsung's printer operation. It currently reports V1.10 but that doesn't really help. So I would like to reflash the machine with stock firmware to rule that out. The machine works fine in all other respects (prints via USB and can do copying so I know the scanner does work). I understand that it is a common practise to hack the firmware of these machines to bypass the toner cartridge checks and I'm wondering if scanning support has been borked by a clumsy hack. I'm currently thinking that perhaps this machine has a hacked firmware. I've tried all the usual things that I can think of: resetting what I can from the interface and whatnot. User manuals clearly state that PC scanning is support both on Windows and Linux(!).
Looking at the USB interface within Linux via "lsusb -v" it presents a printer endpoint/interface but nothing for scanner which is pretty weird. The machine is not seen by the Windows XP or Windows 7 scanner drivers nor the official Samsung Linux offering for SANE. I have a Samsung SCX-4100 machine that does not seem to support scanning at the moment via the USB interface.
