I tried different things I found, like: http://www.elijahlofgren.com/ubuntu/#scx-4521f with no success. Trying to start xsane from shell shows the following message: insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/mfpportctrl/mfpport.ko': No such file or directory Segmentation fault (core dumped) When I start the Samsung Unified Driver Configurator (which installs itself) and then click the scanner button, it closes, with the messages below. ~$ /opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/Configurator insmod: can't read '/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-generic/kernel/drivers/mfpportctrl/mfpport.ko': No such file or directory *** glibc detected *** /opt/Samsung/mfp/bin/Configurator: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x081c1258 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb74ad8bd] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__libc_free+0x84)[0xb74ada44] /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3(__builtin_vec_delete+0x24)[0xb6baa464] /usr/lib/sane/libsane-samsung_scx4x21.so.1(init_mfp_port_control__4port+0x7f)[0xb6a6c62b] /usr/lib/sane/libsane-samsung_scx4x21.so.1(init_mfp_port_control__6device+0x16)[0xb6a6d11e] ... But I don't know, whether I need mfpport.ko or where I get it from. Samsung told me, the driver was not testet with Ubuntu. Heiko
