I have previously mentioned, on this, or the Debian printing list, that I have a Samsung CLX3185FW (which I believe, is supposed to also be able to operate as a network device, wireless or wired), but that I have not been able to scan from it to a computer, since Debian 6 was implemented.

Two things. 1. The use of the acronyms can make it difficult to understand such messages. http://www.acronymfinder.com/ After a while, I believe that figured out the AIO (= All in One?), but I do not understand the ULD. Someone had already asked about that and I had explained it. It is Samsung's Linux Driver. If people could avoid the use of acronyms, it would make understanding messages, easier for us simple foilk. I agree with you - but none-the-less, sadly, it is common practice. I often don't understand things. I do not even know what HPLIP stands for. (Though I know what it is, as I do HPIJS.) In my own defence, not understanding it in this case didn't matter because I had said the exact model number to which I was referring. Multifunction would have been better. 2. How did you manage to get the scanning, working? It Just Worked - with the Samsung driver already installed from before and the version of Xsane on which it depended. I have previously mentioned, on this, or the Debian printing list, that I have a Samsung CLX3185FW (which I believe, is supposed to also be able to operate as a network device, wireless or wired), but that I have not been able to scan from it to a computer, since Debian 6 was implemented. Talk to Samsung. They helped me when I first installed the CLX4195FN. You will have to fight your way past first line support to reach those who actually know something. I am assuming that you are using Debian 6 or later, for your CLX 4195FN. From the second email in this thread, which I sent immediately after I had sent the first: quote I omitted to say that the two computers are both running Debian Wheezy with TDE 3.5.13.2. The router is one supplied by Virgin (a cable company). I have no details. /quote Sorry. I obviously ought to have included it in the original mail.

You don't say whether your network is set up for static IP addresses or DHCP. I find static addressing to be more straightforward in instances like this. If the printer/scanner/fax worked when connected via USB, then you should be able to use the same configuration files or apps and just change the device address. E.g., using CUPS for printing, create another printer and specify the CLX4195FN's network address. Prior to doing that though, try running a 'ping' from your two Wheezy boxes to the all-in-one's network interface to ensure it's reachable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
