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. (http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/index.html) 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.
