[sane-devel] obtaining sane-recognised driver for Samsung mfp-3400

[Tamás Rébeli-Szabó]

Hello Julien,

thank you for your email.

I have actually tried installing different versions of the Samsung
Unified Driver, including the one you have used.

I have a 64-bit architecture, Qt4 is installed, the GUI installer
works (the uninstaller doesn't, however).

The GUI installer tells me that it cannot find the SANE API, but I
suspect this is distribution-specific issue, as SANE API is installed
(unless there is some magic package with a totally different name...).
I can choose to proceed with the installation without SANE, so I did
just that.

Now, in Samsung Configurator, when I select scanners, it says there is
no scanner is present.

I also tried suldr's repository, to no avail.

Would you mind running these commands *as root* and sending me the
samsung_scx_3400.txt file? These commands only collect scanner related
information, nothing more.


echo "~*~*~*~*~*~*~* samsung usb devices ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" > samsung_scx_3400.txt
lsusb | grep "04e8" >> samsung_scx_3400.txt
echo -e "\n\n~*~*~*~*~*~*~* sane version  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" >>
samsung_scx_3400.txt
scanimage --version >> samsung_scx_3400.txt
echo -e "\n\n~*~*~*~*~*~*~* sane-find-scanner  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" >>
samsung_scx_3400.txt
sane-find-scanner -vv >> samsung_scx_3400.txt
echo -e "\n\n~*~*~*~*~*~*~* scanimage list  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" >>
samsung_scx_3400.txt
scanimage -v -L >> samsung_scx_3400.txt
echo -e "\n\n~*~*~*~*~*~*~* kernel modules  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" >>
samsung_scx_3400.txt
lsmod | grep -E "xerox|mfp|usb" >> samsung_scx_3400.txt
echo -e "\n\n~*~*~*~*~*~*~*  xerox_mfp.conf  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" >>
samsung_scx_3400.txt
grep -C 2 "04e8" /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf >> samsung_scx_3400.txt
echo -e "\n\n~*~*~*~*~*~*~*  udev rules in /etc  ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" >>
samsung_scx_3400.txt
grep -H -C 2 "04e8" /etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules >> samsung_scx_3400.txt
echo -e "\n\n~*~*~*~*~*~*~*  udev rules  in /lib ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*" >>
samsung_scx_3400.txt
grep -H -C 2 "04e8" /lib/udev/rules.d/*.rules >> samsung_scx_3400.txt


Thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards,
