Samsung SCX-4100

Any happy owner here? I bought this because it has linux support, but I can't install the drivers.

I run the install script and at some point the progress bars hang, CPU usage is 100% untill I kill the process. When I run the install script without X it says something about unsupported kernel (I'm using the current stock archlinux kernel) and some other warnings/errors, but it doesn't stop or ask me anything, it just goes on with installation until it hangs at some point and I have to kill it.

After incomplete installation printer & scanner still don't work and also the system is crippled - cant start X, lsmod hangs, ... so I run the install script again and uninstall drivers. It hangs again with 100% CPU and I have to kill it but at least the system works fine again... unlike the printer/scanner.

After some hard work printing now works
I even made myself a PKGBUILD:

pkgname=scx4100
pkgver=1.0.165
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="CUPS printer drivers and SANE scanner drivers for Samsung SCX 4100"
depends=(cups sane)
source=("http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=SS&CttFileID=214860
&CDCttType=DR&ModelType=N&ModelName=SCX-4100&VPath=DR/200511/20051130084614343_DriversPack-1.0.165.tar.gz")
md5sums=('a47d1c4a857fc538c329f5ea0c78f4da')

build() {
  cd $startdir/pkg
  tar -xf $startdir/src/cdroot/Linux/models/scx4100/scx4100.ss
  rm -Rf usr/local
  tar -xf $startdir/src/cdroot/Linux/rd/mfpcommon.ss
  mkdir -p usr/lib/cups/filter
  cp -d usr/local/bin/samsung/rastertosamsung* usr/lib/cups/filter/
  cp -d usr/local/bin/samsung/libGDI.so.1.0.0 usr/lib/
  tar -xzf $startdir/src/cdroot/Linux/rd/libstdc++-3.tar.gz
  cd usr/lib
  ln -s libGDI.so.1.0.0 libGDI.so.1
  ln -s libmfpdetect.so.1.0.1 libmfpdetect.so
  ln -s libmfp.so.1.0.1 libmfp.so
  ln -s libqt-mt.so.3.0.4 libqt-mt.so.3
  cd -
  cp -d usr/local/bin/samsung/libmfp* usr/lib/
  cp -d $startdir/src/cdroot/Linux/rd/libqt-mt.s* usr/lib/
  chmod u+w usr/lib/lib* usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertosamsung*
  rm -Rf usr/local
}

Still no luck with scanner. I think I have to create /etc/sane.d/samsung.conf (what to put in?) and add it to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf.

If anybody had any experience / luck with this device, please share them.

Do you have the Unified Linux Driver from Samsung? or the Xerox driver for WC3119? I'm looking for them but there aren't anymore on the ufficial sites or on the net.

In order to make scanner to work you need to copy from the installation archive smfp.conf to /etc/sane.d
the libsane-smfp.so.* to /usr/lib/sane and to make two symlinks to the file: libsane-smfp.so and libsane-smfp.so.1

Sorry, I know this is an old thread. Can't make the scanner to work neither on SCX 4500. What's the point of making symlinks to these files?

I have the this and want to get the printer working (no scanner), tried to aur unified driver which does not seem to work, is there any detailed information on how to install on manjaro openbox?, manjaro website for printer install is down for some reason.

For manjaro support, ask on their boards: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … pport_ONLY

And don't necrobump: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … Bumping.27
