Availability of Samsung SCX-4500W.

This is the wireless version of the printer. I am trying to find out when this will be available in the US

hello. i have the SCX-4500. same situation. i messaged samsung support, and recieved this:
We are sorry to inform you that the Mac 10.8 Scan driver is not available from the Samsung website because the Scan to PC feature is not supported on Apple OSX units.
Regards,
Leo O.

after the above, i was given a link to PC trouble shooting. totally useless. clearly, samsung could care less about apple at this point, which in turns screws over their customers - us. i am using the same system i had when i bought it. it's the operating system they refuse to support. i will never buy another samsung product again, that's for sure. there are just to many other alternatives, should be easy to do.
i know no work around. i even tried installing drivers for similar samsung printers, nothing would work.

Image Capture no longer working with Samsung SCX-4500W

Out of the blue, Image Capture is no longer working with my scanner (Samsung SCX-4500W). Until today, I have had no problems, but now Image Capture will only complete the "overview" but not the "scan" itself. I get the message that the "scanner reported an error." I have tried restarting, unplugging cables, etc. but nothing works. I don't think there is a problem with the scanner itself -- it is able to scan using the built-in "scan to PC" function, but not Image Capture. I am using OS X 10.6.1. Any suggestions?

Try running a repair disk permissions. This is done via the Disk Utility application. Reply if you need help to do this.
Also, do you have another application you can scan with? Note that Preview will use Image Capture, so you need some other application. As a test, you could download Picasa from Google which works well with TWAIN scanners.

Can't print from my Samsung SCX 4720

After the last upgrade I lost all ability to print from my Samsung SCX 4720 (I have never been able to use the scan function with my, but at least I could print). Since Samsung doesn't have a Mac version for this printer, I used the generic Samsung SCX 4x20 driver and it worked fine so far. Additionally, I have lost any ability to add other printers, manually or automatically. The printer list has just been wiped clean. I tried copying the printer settings from my time machine backups, but to no avail. Does anybody have a suggestion?

Samsung has downloadable drivers at: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCX-4500W
On edit: just noticed that link is to the scx-4500W and I'm not sure of the difference between that and the scx-4500; their scx-4500 page only has drivers for OSX through 10.7: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCX-4500/XAA?

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,

24" iMac 2.8Ghz - won't print to Samsung SCX-4200

New Aluminium iMac connected to 3 printers. Epsom PictureMate and HP Color Laserjet 2600n both work fine. However, Samsung SCX-4200 does nothing when I try to print. Printer appears in the Dock but when I view the printer jobs for the SCX-4200 Series it sometimes shows the job for a short period then says 'No job printing.' The unprinted jobs appear in the completed jobs section as 'Untitled'
The SCX-4200 works with Image Capture (for scanning) so it seems to be connected OK. I have tried deleting and adding the printer but to no avail.
I'm also suffering a very intermittent WiFi connection to my router but that's another story.
Any ideas please.

Obvious really. I have never bothered updating drivers with my macs as it all seemed to happen in the background but a quick visit to the Samsung site, a very easy download, and it started working immediately. Thanks.

How do I connect air print to my Samsung SCX-3405W

How do I connect my Samsung SCX-3405 to Apple Air Print

If the printer is not AirPrint compatible, you need to use a 3rd party printing app to make it so. If Samsung does not provide such an app for this printer via the iTunes app store, there are a number of 3rd party printing apps available via the iTunes app store.

[Solved] Samsung SCX-4300 Printer Problem

Hi everyone. I installed Arch Linux today. Everything is fine except printer. I am using Samsung SCX-4300 printer and scanner. Scanner works fine but CUPS doesn't see the printer. I can't see anything on CUPS web interface's Local Printers area. Here is a screenshot.
I can see my printer in lsusb command:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 062a:0201 Creative Labs Defender Office Keyboard (K7310) S Zodiak KM-9010
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04e8:342e Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd

So why I can not see my printer and how can I fix that?

I have a very similar printer (SCX-4500W) and found that I was able to get it working as a printer but that I could not get both print and scan functions to work at the same time.
In order to get the printer going I had to add a file to /etc/udev/rules.d/71-scx4500w.rules with the content as a single line:
ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="342b", MODE:="0664", GROUP:="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes"
You will need to change the idVendor and idProduct in the line above to match that for your own printer from the lsusb command instead of those above for the SCX-4500W.
I would also suggest that you use the splix drivers package - i.e. make sure that the splix package is installed with:
# pacman -S splix
Then when you add the printer select the splix drivers which will work with that printer (you should check the splix support page to check your printer is supported but I am pretty sure it is)
Once that is done then you need to start the cups.socket daemon with the following command as root (exclude the # which is the prompt)
# systemctl start cups.socket
and if it then works, and allows you to add the printer, then you also need to "enable" the same daemon so that it starts after the next boot as well:
# systemctl enable cups.socket
One other thing is that if you want your printer to be discoverable as a cups remote printer on your local network you will need avahi-daemon running on the server to which the printer is attached, as well as on any machine which needs to see it - check the arch wiki on how to set that up if you need it.
I hope this helps.

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!

Samsung SCX-4200 with Lion?

Hi there,
has anyone had luck yet using an SCX-4200 Laser MFP for scanning on Mac OS X Lion?
Printing works, but the universal scan driver does not find my scanner...

If you want to use the Samsung SCX-4200 printer on OS X you will need to get the latest printer driver from samsung.
http://www.samsung.de/de/support/detail.aspx?aguid=3c6280d5-8701-434a-a664-a28cb 5131a74&dl=driver
It would then be the first driver to use. For scanning it still does not work for me. Samsung only updated the page and states the drivers to be suitable for 10.3 to 10.7, but scanning is not available in LION ....

HT2693 My iPhone & iPad can't recognize my airprint compatible printer. My printer: Samsung SCX-3405 HW. Any one help me??

My printer is Samsung SCX-3405 HW that is airprint compatible.
But my iPhone & iPad can not recognize it.!
Help me please. What's wrong?!
Thank you

I've just installed this printer and enabled - everything is working on airprint with my iPad2, iPad Air, Macbook and Mac Mini.
The trick was to connect to the printer's wireless network directly (the direct connect box must be clicked when you're setting up with a USB connection) first. The next time I tried to find the airprint printer, it was there.
There is a password associated to the printer's direct connect network as well (setup utility gives you this). I'm guessing that once it's in the keychain for the device, it can find it and connect to it.
Anyway - this should solve the mystery. It's all installed and working. I didn't have to do a firmware upgrade (not available except as a windows.exe file), but I did install the latest driver off of the support community. I couldn't get the scanner to work until the driver was up to date.
I'm running OSX 10.9, printer is Samsung SCX-3405FW, iPad software is latest on both iPads.

Fax with Samsung SCX-4521F

Hej,
does anyone know how to send and recieve faxes with the Samsung SCX-4521F via Leopard? Samsung drivers don't work here, system preferences sez that there's no fax device available.
Thanks for any suggestions!

With the AIO devices, there are typically two drivers, one for printing and one for faxing. Is the driver you used to add the printer the one that has fax capabilities?

Looking for a samsung scx 4200 driver

I'm looking for a printer/scanner driver for the samsung scx 4200...
Looked at the samsung website and downloaded the driver from their site but still did not work..
Tried to contact samsung on many occasions but they have not been the best of help..
The drivers say they install correctly, but then when i go to print get the error that there was an installation error..
Thanks in advance

HI,
This may be a problem. That model is not listed here. Mac OS X v10.6: Printer and scanner software
Nor is there a GIMP available. http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/pSupportedPrinters.php
Try here. Mac OS X v10.6: Mac 101 - Printing - Troubleshooting
I noticed on the Samsung site they offer a Universal Driver but only for Windows. Not Mac friendly for sure.

Scanner samsung scx-4300 does not work after software update v 2.3

hi everybody,
i just noticed that after i run software update on my mac mini and install samsung printer software update v2.3
I'm no longer able to scan from my Samsung SCX-4300
on macbook pro i noticed the software update has not been installed, and i can still scan without any problem
is there a way to uninstall the software update?
thanks.

What's the correct way to uninstall SamsungPrinterSoftwareUpdate v.2.3
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)
note: confirmed the problem is with SamsungPrinterSoftwareUpdate v2.3

How can I fix this printer error with Samsung SCX-4300 and SCX-4521f on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have two printers installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit):
1. Samsung SCX-4521f
2. Samsung SCX-4300
There are two computers (Windows 7 Professional, 32-Bit) connected to this server that utilise these shared printers.
The drivers installed are as follows:
SCX-4x21_Win7_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7 3.04.96:03 Print Driver 11 Dec, 2009 12.37 MULTI LANGUAGE)
SCX-4300_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit) 3.04.95:07 Print Driver Jan 19, 2011 53.07 MULTI LANGUAGE)
After printing documents for some time (within a 24 period) the printers no longer respond to print requests.
On the server opening "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers" shows the two printers with yellow exclamation marks.
The "SCX-4x21" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting" and "Printer: Error".
The "SCX-4300" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting".
Neither will print a test page.
Searching for new drivers automatically returns saying: "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
The error persists and nothing will print.
When double-clicking on the "SCX-4x21" printer (or going to "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers\Samsung SCX-4x21 Series") you see the following:
"Printer: Error" and "N document(s) in queue".
Clicking on either of these brings up the print queue and shows a document with the status of "Error - Printing".
As each job with an error is cancelled the next one attempts to print and also displays an error like the last.
Once all the jobs are cleared the printer information says "Printer: Ready".
Sending a "Print Test Page" sends the printer into an error state saying "Printer: Error".
With the "SCX-4300", sending a "Print Test Page" displays a bubble saying: "Toner Empty: Replace Toner".
However, I can't see any specific error messages.
How do I find out what exactly "Needs troubleshooting"?
Please can anyone advise further?

The printer (SCX-4300) has stopped again.
Since it has been stopped I have done your recommendations:
Unticked the "Enable bidirectional support" option under the "Ports" tab in the printer properties.
Set the "Interactive Services Detection" to Automatic and started it.
Unfortunately the printer did not start printing, the print jobs did not restart or delete.
I decided to check the Operational logs that we enabled.
The first job I see goes like this:
Information: Rendering job 41.
Error: The print spooler failed to delete the file C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\00041.SHD, error code 0x2. See the event user data for context information.
Information: The print job 41 was sent through the print processor SSE1MPC on printer Samsung SCX-4300 Series, driver Samsung SCX-4300 Series, in the isolation mode 1 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated
sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x0.
Information:Printing job 41.
Information:Spooling job 41.
This job actually printed.
Other jobs printed fine with no error.
There are no other errors in the "Operational" log other than the "print spooler failed to delete" error.
Any ideas what to try now?
Update: Unticking the "Enable bidirectional support", clearing the print queue and then trying again seems to have fixed the problem for now.
