I need some advice regarding the installation of samsung scx-4200
scanner in ubuntu 9.10. I started to use ubuntu few months ago, after
years of using win xp. Now I have ubuntu 9.10 and win xp installed on my
machine (dual boot), but I'm anxious to learn about ubuntu as much as I
can, so I can discard windows entirely.
My problem is that I can't get my scanner working in ubuntu. I've added
#scx4200
usb 0x04e8 0x341b
to /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf, but now I'm stuck.
It seems that ubuntu detects scanner when I type "sane-find-scanner":
# 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.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make
sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8 [Samsung], product=0x341b [SCX-4200
Series]) at libusb:001:002
# Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be
supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
# Not checking for parallel port scanners.
# Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary
ports
# can't be detected by this program.
The trouble is (to my knowledge) that I have Leadtek WinFast TV tuner
card installed. So when I type "scanimage -L", I get:
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname BT878 video (Leadtek WinFast 20
virtual device.
When I run XSane image scanner, I get the same result - my scanner is
Leadtek WinFast device.
I would really appreciate some help on this matter, if possible
step-by-step advice on what I should do. Google offers a lot of advices
on how to do this thing using Samsung unified driver, but Michael wrote
that samsung's proprietary driver performs ugly hacks, and I believe
him. So...
Thanks,
Max
