** Description changed: - Samsung scx4100 is a relativelly old but very successful scanner/ laser printer made by Samsung and it's the first of a serie of devices almost identical, where Samsung seems to just change their design and name every year (scx4200, scx4300... scx4600). - This kind of devices were initially available to Linux users trough installation of Samsung own drivers, however recent ubuntu releases got able to plug-and-play them, both for printing and scanning (e.g. with simple-scan). - While scx4200 or scx4300 still works in this way, on my Ubuntu 12.04 the Samsung scx4100 is no longer available as scanner (but it still plug-and-play as printer). - As scx4100 for best of my knowledge is tecnically pretty the same as the other cited printers/scanners of the serie, I guess it just miss entry in some sort of "supported devices" list. - - I am available for further informations if needed. - - Kind regards and thank you. - - Antonello - - lsusb: + My Samsung scx4100 is no longer available as a scanner in Ubuntu 12.04 (but it is still plug-and-play as a printer).
