(SOLVED) Printer/Scanner Samsung SCX-3200 error finding scanner

techmagyor · 2011-08-06 18:35:56

hi to everyone,
i managed to use this printer with samsung unified driver from AUR and CUPS; works without problem. But, i have troubles configuring with sane. That's the output while #:

# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the                               
  # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your                                
  # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.                                                        
                                                                                                    
  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports                         
  # can't be detected by this program.

While i use scanimage -L it cannot find anything (i comment v4l from /etc/sane.d/dll.conf because of the webcam was recognized as a scanner)
I inserted vendor and product in /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf but no results.

Any way to solve? Thanks in advance

PS= i'm in scanner and lp groups

Bump. Same issue after reinstall, had no problems previously. I'm missing a package maybe, or something is misconfigured. Any help appreciated.

nischg · 2011-08-22 15:29:13

Did you manage to get it working? I'm having the same issue and I'd hate to switch from Arch just to use my scanner.

VCoolio · 2011-08-23 14:59:22

Negative. Going to try ubuntu on virtualbox, worked previously with an HP printer, but it's an ugly workaround. For scanning it's less annoying, I don't do that as much, but it's still not good.

mas_kecil · 2011-08-23 17:27:06

Hi!

I have the same problem, but with a Samsung CLX-3175FN. According to the SANE website, both scanners should be supported by the xerox-mfp driver, but there is a bug in this driver when handling usb scanners. On the Fedora website, I found a fixed bug (number 702983) which is supposed to fix our problem.

I'm do not know how and when such a bugfix gets included in the arch sane package.

How could I verify that?

nischg · 2011-08-23 17:54:48

I installed the samsung-unified-driver from AUR and this is what I get:

$ scanimage -L
sh: /sbin/ifconfig: No existe el fichero o el directorio
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).

It says /sbib/ifconfig doesn exist. I guess it has something to do with the deprecation of net-tools.

P.S.: I'm having a lot of trouble with the priter also. I can install it and sometimes it works OK. Mostly it just prints simbols on several pages. I think it 's a driver issue. I've tried with samsung-unified-driver from AUR, splix and the PPD file.

I think ifconfig not being found only implicates it can't search for network devices. It should still find the device when connected to usb. And I too have the multipage one-line symbol crap, especially with pdf's. Printing with a different app (e.g. gimp instead of evince) sometimes works.

Hi all,

I can now confirm that the Fedora 15 version of sane 1.0.22 works with my Samsung 3175FN scanner, using the xerox-mfp driver.

I will make a Arch bug report, as I think that is the way forward?

nischg · 2011-09-06 00:34:16

Just FYI, AUR's samsung-unified-driver was updated today.

My printer still doesn't work. I'm about to throw this thing through the window.

nischg · 2011-09-26 15:24:16

I installed the packages from here (http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/) on Ubuntu and the printer works great. Haven't tried the scanner though.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me can use this info in Arch.

VCoolio · 2011-10-08 22:27:51

Update to sane 1.0.22-4 today fixed finding scanner! Yay! Let's hope it lasts. I couldn't find what was changed exactly in the package, so maybe today's just a lucky day.

Edit: still works

Perhaps a bit late, but the problem with my Samsung 3175FN has been fixed also!

knedlyk · 2011-11-03 20:40:35

Hey guys, I am glad to hear that you fixed your scanner. I installed samsung-unified-driver from AUR and latest sane (1.0.22-4), my printer scx-3205 works almost fine, but scanner is not still recognized. I managed to find scanner by loading usblp module which was blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:
$ scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Integrated Camera virtual device
device `smfp:SAMSUNG SCX-3200 Series on USB:0' is a SAMSUNG SCX-3200 Series on USB:0 Flatbed Scanner
After that printer stoped working and I had to unload usblp.
@mas_kecil and @VCoolio, do you really have both printer and scanner working at the same time?

VCoolio · 2011-11-03 21:33:53

Yeah, both work. usblp blacklisted, samsung-unified-driver and splix installed and a file /lib/udev/rules.d/99-custom.rules containing:
ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="3441", MODE="0666", GROUP="lp"

So permissions set to 0666 and group to lp, of which I'm a member of course. Check your ipVendor and idProduct code with lsusb.

knedlyk · 2011-11-03 22:02:26

Thanks for the answer. I have the same ipVendor and ipProduct as you do. I even also have the same rules, and I am in lp group. But scanner doesn't work.

Are you sure that usblp blacklisted? Can you post your
lsmod | grep usb
and
modinfo usblp
?

Also I have a line in /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf:
usb 0x04e8 0x3441

I'm not sure if I added that myself or it comes with sane. Do you have that?

knedlyk · 2011-11-03 22:30:26

VCoolio, you are genius! The line "usb 0x04e8 0x3441" in /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf solved the problem! As far I understand it makes the sane use xerox-mfp libs instead of original Samsung from unified package.
Thank you very much!

Ah, I know how frustrating this stuff is, so I'm glad I could help. Also thank you for asking, I totally forgot this fix and anytime soon I would have had trouble myself again and be as helpless as you were. Mfp doesn't stand for multi-functional printer in my dictionary, if you catch my drift.

knedlyk · 2011-11-03 22:52:00

Ha-ha, read your post there - a few days ago I did the same - throw away my crappy shit HP-4210 and bought sammy scx-3205 (price was good and I was ready to buy anything but HP).

knedlyk · 2011-11-04 14:00:29

VCoolio, I have a few questions.
1. What driver do you use? CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7 or from Samsung?
2. Have you notice any strange behavior in your scx-3200? I have to turn off and then turn on printer and only after that procedure I can print a page.

Thanks!

VCoolio · 2011-11-04 17:08:42

I have /etc/cups/ppd/Samsung_SCX-3200_Series.ppd and cups says driver Samsung SCX-3200 Series (grayscale, 2-sided printing).

/etc/cups/printers.conf:

# Printer configuration file for CUPS v1.5.0

I don't need to turn on/off. I do recall behavior like this. Don't know if I fixed it or it went away. Try another usb-port on your machine. I have it plugged in in the back. Iirc the front usb ports didn't go well with the printer.

knedlyk · 2011-11-05 12:47:37

Damn, I'm very disappointed. These days I spend trying the following: change usb ports, install unified drivers from Samsung support page, different drivers for Samsung printer from cups (generic). And I still didn't find a reason why this printer prints empty pages with unrecognized symbols instead of normal pages.

Have you tried in cups with the ppd file from samsung unified driver?

I haven't installed unified driver, I only moved ppd file to /usr/lib/cups/filter/

Printer works in "draft" mode, not in "normal" mode.

You find ppd files in: cdroot/Linux/x86_64/at_root/usr/lib64/cups/filter/

My printer CPL-325W needs rastertosamsungsplc.

Move at your choice to: /usr/lib/cups/filter/

techmagyor · 2011-11-28 03:25:58

I managed to let the printer work. Basically i have:

Installed unified driver from samsung website or aur package named samsung-unified-driver , as i have custom kernel i inserted usbcore on modules in rc.conf, @cupsd on daemons, blacklist usblp in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and then installed the drivers,then configured cups. Then i put myself on lp and scanner groups; inserted on /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf:

#Samsung SCX-3200
usb 0x04e8 0x3441

obtained by lsub. Reboot (logout/login is enough) and print and scanner worls flawlessy in a non-mutual exclusive state printer/scanner!!

Bye
