[sane-devel] Problem scanning with Samsung scx-4100 on centos 4.2

[Prajjwal Devkota]

Hi,

I have unsuccessfully been trying to get a Samsung scx-4100 to scan
using my linux machines for quite some time.  I have tried using both
fedora core 3 (various kernels), and centos 4.2 (kernel 2.6.9), but
scanimage segfaults when I try to scan.  I noticed a similar post on
this list
(http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/sane-devel/2005-May/013660.html), but the problem seems to be a bit different than mine.  I also had a look at (http://hathawaymix.org/Weblog/2005-07-15), and copied the files as recommended, but could not get the scanner detected by sane-find-scanner.  I tried installing the rpm (rebuilt from source) from (http://oskari.saarenmaa.fi/rpm/), but that gave the same problem: scanimage segfaulting.  I am still looking for a way to get the scanner working on my fileserver, and would like any help or pointers you may give to point me in the right direction.

I am attaching very basic output below.  I would be happy to add more
information if anyone requires.

Thanks in advance,
