The lines that are active in the 70-printers-rules file are not the above
two but:
# Samsung SCX-4500W printer MFP
ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="342b", MODE:="0664", GROUP:="lp",
ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes"

This MFP printer was previously in use up to 6 months ago with both the
printer and scanner functions working without any need to tinker on a
desktop computer running Fedora F16 which was using udev although of course
in the interim both udev as well as the kernels and systemd have been
updated significantly since then, and this is now connected to an arch
linux system.

However I do wonder if there is a way to get the udev rules changed so that
the two functions of this device can work alongside each other.  If this
can be resolved then it may well also lead to a solution for your camera
multifunction problem also.
