10.6.2 update breaks Shared Scanning (Samsung SCX-4500)

Since installing 10.6.2 on both Mac Mini and MacBook Pro, I can no longer use Shared Scanning.
Setup:
Mac Mini Core Duo running 10.6.2 sharing Samsung SCX-4500 multifunction device.
MacBook Pro 3,1 running 10.6.2 running Image Capture as a client of the Mac Mini and its shared scanner.
Scanning on the Mini itself works fine. Shared Scanning from the MacBook Pro appears to work: The scanner is listed in Image Capture's Shared section, the item to be scanned is correctly shown in the Overview scan, but when starting the scan proper, Image Capture quits without an error and the Samsung scanner disappears from the Shared list in Image Capture.
Also after this event, Image Capture on the Mini is unable to see the scanner either until after a restart.
Can anyone else reproduce this, with a Samsung device or another scanner?

Hi Simon,
I'm noticing something similar too. Mini Server running 10.6.2 sharing an Epson 10000XL scanner. Just got it today, so I have not extensively tested it, but this is what I've noticed so far:
Every once in a while the scanner just seems to disappear from the scanner sharing box in Sharing Pref Pane on the server. Both server and clients stop seeing it entirely. The only way to get it back seems to be to log out and back into the server. Doing that is at least better than restarting as you have been doing. I do it via screen sharing on one of the clients; not so bad, but it's obviously kind of a pain when all you want to do is scan.
One thing seems to have helped it be available for a few hours now without too much trouble - NOT trying to scan straight from the server via screen sharing. Just stick to the clients. Not promising that'll help, but it seems to be working now...
One thing that did seem to cause this to happen once was disconnection the server's file shares from the client before trying to scan. Maybe that disrupts the network in just the right way to make the scanner disappear?
But my biggest suspicion right now is that trying top scan from more than one source, whether it be 2 different clients or server + clients does something.
These are just guesses for now, but I'm hoping to find some consistency so it's manageable at least.
I'll post back whatever else I find,

  • Cannot SCAN with Samsung SCX-4500 Printer, New iMac w/Leopard

    I just purchased at an Apple retail store, a brand new 24" iMac along with a Samsung SCX-4500 laser printer, copier and scanner. Bad news is I can't get the scanner function to work. It prints and copies but doesn't scan. I went to Samsung and downloaded the lasted and greatest drivers but no scanning capability yet. Has anyone else purchased this printer? Is it compatible with OX 10.5 or is the Apple store just trying to get rid of printers that don't seem to work with Leopard. This bugs me. Any help would be great.

    This is from another forum as I was looking for the answer to the same issue:
    First off, when Samsung labels a button "Scan to PC", they mean it. That button only works with Windows PCs not Macs.
    To get it to the Samsung SCX 4500 to scan on your Mac you need to acquire the image using some other software. I used Preview.
    Put the picture or document that you want scanned on the bed. Open Preview. From the File menu, select the Import Image... option.
    The scanner activates and you will see, you guessed it, a preview of what is to be scanned. Notice that the scan button is grayed out.
    You now have to click and drag a box around what you want scanned. Once you draw your box identifying the exact image to be scanned, the Scan button is enabled. Now adjust any options, and hit Scan. Enjoy.

  • Samsung SCX-4500 scanning using Image Capture???

    Image Capture detects and scans successfully using the Samsung SCX-4500, BUT doesn't appear to save the file anywhere. I selected desktop, and still no file. Any ideas?

    In Image Capture, you need to click and drag on the preview image to tell it exactly what part of the image you want to scan. Then click the "scan" button. It will then save the file in the location you have specified.

  • Samsung SCX 4500 and Airport Express incompatibility?

    Hi,
    I have bought the Samsung SCX 4500 printer two days ago...
    Since then I tried out to get the printer working properly with my Airport Express.
    Before I had a Canon IP 5300 and everything worked out great - no problems with printing.
    But so far I have only made the SCX 4500 print once with the Airport Express and this
    was right after I connected it via Bonjour to my Airport Express Printer Sharing...
    Afterwards the printer refused to print anything more.
    A scanner is part of the multifunction printer as well - the scanning is only support if you connect the printer via usb cable to the computer.
    But at least this fairly "handsome" printer should print wirelessly...
    If you have any suggestions how I can solve the problem, let me know...
    Cheers, Felix
    Mac OS 10.5.5 installed on a Macbook Pro 2.Gen.
    Installed all the newest software from the following Samsung Support site:
    http://www.samsung.com/at/support/download/supportDown.do?group=Drucker%20%26amp %3Bamp%3B%20Multifunktionsger%3Fte&type=Drucker%20%26amp%3Bamp%3B%20Multifunktio nsger%C3%A4te&subtype=Laser%20MFP&modelnm=SCX-4500W%2FSEE&disp_nm=SCX-4500W&language=&cate_type=all&dType=D&mType=DR&vT ype=L&prd_iacd=06010300
    Airport Express Firmware: 6.3

    For me this solution always worked for my Samsung SCX-4500 printer:
    1) renaming the printer in AirportExpress (AE) to "samsung" (important: spaces in the name seems to cause the problem - so do not ever use spaces in AEutility in name for the printer!)
    2) adding the printer through CUPS like described here (using HP Jet Direct Socket): http://osr600doc.sco.com/en/PR_gimpprint/x456.html
    HINT: when CUPS is asking for socket during the setup wizard use the following:
    socket://((ip-of-your-airport-express-here)):9100
    For example with my own AE IP, where printer is attached over USB:
    socket://192.168.178.25:9100
    3) that's it - printing should work now!
    If you still have any problems simply reboot AE to factory defaults, reconfigure it and go to the above steps. Good luck!

  • Why do i have to keep repairing permissions for my samsung SCX-4500?

    Recently (since installing OS X  10.8) when I am sending something to my printer, Samsung SCX-4500 (Darth Vader decor), I will be asked for a certificate and then there will be request to repair permissions for the printer. Once that is done, the printer will print fine. But then some hours or days later I am asked to jump through the same hoops.
    Anyone else...?

  • Samsung SCX 4500 - Scanner no longer works since OS Update to 10.5.6

    Hi all, my problem is already described in the subject line
    The problem should have disturbed more people than just me.
    Installing the latest drivers from Samsung did not do the job
    Question: Anybody got the fix?
    Samsung is rather clueless on this one
    Thanks, Wolfgang

    Here's what you do -
    (Before following the directions below make sure you have removed the Samsung printer from the Print & Fax section of System Preferences and reboot your computer - then proceed with the following)
    1. Using a Cat-5 cable, turn your printer on and plug your Samsung directly into your router;
    2. Hold down the Stop/Clear button on the printer down for 5 seconds or untill two 00 (zeros) show up on the information bar on the top of the printer;
    3. Read the "Configuration report and note the IP Address given;
    4. Open your web browser and type in the printer's IP Address you wrote down;
    5. When the SyncThru Web Service page comes up click on the "Network Settings" tab across the top menu bar;
    6. Click on the TCP/IP tab on the left side under the "General" tab;
    7. Change the "IP Address Assignment Method" from DCHP †o STATIC;
    8. Hit the "APPLY" button on the bottom and exit from your browser;
    9. Open Print & Fax under System Preferences and hit the " + " button to install a new printer;
    10. Install the Samsung and you should be good to go!

  • Samsung SCX-4500, Airport and 10.5.3?

    Does this combo work for bonjour printing? I know there were troubles under 10.5.2.
    Thanks,
    Ken

    I just bought a Samsung CX-3175 Multi function printer and the driver doesn't show up on my hard drive. Samsung says it's a Mac issue.
    Since Apple sells Samsung printers on their web site, I figured there wouldn't be any compatibility issues. I'm wondering if this latest Airport update is responsible or whether it will be impossible to make it work with my Mac.
    BTW, my Mac can't find the printer, even when connected via USB.

  • Updating to Mavericks Samsung Scx-4200 can no longer print and scan.

    In the Apple's driver list my Samsung Scx-4200 doesn't appear any more.
    Are there any other compatible drivers to make my printer working?

    Hi,
    just found a solution! It seems that there is a compatible driver afterall...
    Go to this link (it's an official Samsung dutch site) and scroll down to where it says "Stuurprogramma" and download the Scan Driver which is for Mac OS 10.9 (61.44MB) http://www.samsung.com/nl/support/model/SCX-4623FN/SEE
    If your Mac doesn't extract the zip automatically then extract it manually. Go into the extracted folder and launch "Installer OS X.app". Note that the Mac OS Gatekeeper might not let you open that file as it might treat it as malware etc (which is weird because the driver came from official Samsung site...). In that case just right-click on the file, then hold down ctrl and click on Open. That should do it. From this point on everything else is straightforward as in a casual installer. Note that you should quit any other open applications before installing scanner drivers!
    Now the installer contains several different components (printer driver, scan driver, scan thru software and ica driver). I installed all of these components! Also note that the installer will ask you to restart your computer after it has installed just the first or second component, but don't restart it at this moment. Keep installing until you have installed everything you can (until there is no more installer icons in the dock) and after that you should restart your Mac.
    When the Mac has restarted, connect your SCX-4200 to your Mac via usb and go into Applications folder and navigate to Samsung --> Scan & Fax Manager.app. Launch it and you should see your SCX-4200 listed in there which should let you use it as scanner...
    Hope this helps.

    If  I delete the following:
    - Samsung folder in /Libraries/Printers/
    - Samsung Scanner.app in /Library/Image Capture/Devices
    Will it remove samsung driver for printer and scanner?
    If yes, then I can reinstall SamsungPrinterSoftwareUpdate v2.2 (found in on the internet from google search)

  • What are the things 10.6.8 update break?

    After the 10.6.8 update I am having so many issues,
    first, the %100 cpu usage of dock, disabled parallels, and now it is ok,
    then, a reboot and I am unable to login, I enter my password, it begins the login process, then logs me out,
    if I persist, it logs me in after a couple of tries, but each time a few of my applications are missing at random, and the environment is very very unstable, sometimes I see no desktop background, sometimes I start firefox and I am logged out again.
    I've seen some people suggesting removal of login items to resolve a similar but not the same issue, so I'm inclined to think overall, there is an issue with some applications which 10.6.8 update breaks.
    For starters my login items are:
    GrowlHelper
    Geektool
    EyeTv Helper
    Canon IJ Network scanner
    ituneshelper
    Magicprefs
    Sophosuiserver
    Does anyone have any problems with any of these?
    I only verified the parallels desktop 6 issue up to now.
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2
      Processor Name: Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1

      SMC Version (system): 1.58f15

    Actually it is not-so-permitted to remove sophos for this machine, but I did it anyhow. No problem so far, but lack of evidence is not evidence of being lack of something so I am not adding it to the list yet

  • Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7.  From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful.  According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it).  Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen.  This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D. 
    As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well.  I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine.  Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen.  It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen...  If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

  • Mac OSX 10.4.8 Update Breaks Raid Striping -- System will no longer boot

    Hi,
    I'm a newbie from the PC world with a Mac Pro. For the last 8 hours I've been trying to get a Raid-0 configuration to work with no success.
    The Raid array constructs ok and the system boots. Once that's done the Software Update screen arrives and I would select install all... then the machine would not boot. I get a Grey Shade like affect and the message to power off and restart. Powering off does nothing.
    So I started again for the Nth time and added each Software Update individually. All loaded and rebooted successfully until the 10.4.8 Update.
    As soon as that loads, installs and restarts the machine will not boot.
    I called Apple's Tech Support and they told me they do NOT support RAID on this machine. I said what are you talking about. They put me on hold talked to a supervisor and came back with the same story. I just don't get it...
    So anyone have any insight and advice on why the update breaks my Raid-0? What can I do to get over the problem (I'd like to have the RAID...)?
    Thanks for the assistance.
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Yes, you needed an emergency boot drive anyway to repair your RAID boot drive. Just use the same one in addition to a working clone or backup of your regular system.
    Apple made it easy to install or update security updates and system updates from an alternate drive (but you will have to use the stand-alone (combo preferably) updaters instead - which many use already as normal part of upgrades for years now (they seem more useful and reliable).
    My preference is a dedicated boot drive with OS and apps and minimal home directory - no media files - and fast, like 10K Raptor. I use RAID for my home directory so it isn't on the boot drive for years to improve performance and keep the OS separate. Never a problem and nice mix.

  • How often does the Apple TV sync with updated home sharing playlists?

    I am trying to use several Apple TV's at my business for content management throughout our campus.  I want to be able to have a playlist of pictures and videos that is easy to update.  Can anyone tell me how often the Apple TV syncs with the home sharing network for an updated playlist?  It would be very inconvenient if the only way was to do a reboot on every device each time content was updated.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I can't really say for sure how often the Apple TV updates its shared libraries.
    I do however know that once the Apple TV as completed playing something, it will sync with the shared library in order to update the play count. So I'd be reasonably sure that the shared library is updated at least once every time something is played.

  • Problem Scanning from Samsung SCX-4623FN, using MacBook Pro with OS X 10.10.3 and Acrobat Pro 11.0.10

    My Problems:
    1. Scannersoftware stopps at the end of Scanning, showing the preview but not finishing the scan.
    Only thing to choose: close the program and try again. Same result.
    I can't change to "Scan from ADF".
    2. The SCX-4623FN is able to scan both sides automatically from ADF, but the button to select "scan both sides" is grey and not able to activate.
    3. I don't find other software offered by Samsung, Apple or Adobe for scanning.
    Mostly I need to scan black-white-Text, OCR, 600 dpi, small file-size.
    I don't know what to do. Anyone some Ideas?
    Thanks in forward.
    Greetings.

    Hi,
    1. To change the scan mode to ADF, you can change it on MAC under the Scan-Modus dropdown in ICA Window (Second window in snapshot)
    2. I think you are able to scan both sides automatically using Samsung SCX scanner as the scanner is a duplex scanner. Currently Acrobat automatically scans only front side for simplex scanner and scans both sides for duplex scanner and the option for scan sides is disabled for ICA
    In case your scanner stops scanning in flatbed mode, please try to scan with the system scanner to see if it is not due to scanning at a very high DPI
    I think this solves your problems.
