Samsung SCX-4200 Scanning Problem

I have a Samsung SCX-4200 Printer/Scanner. I can print to it, but I can't my computer to recognize it as scanner. It used to work in Leopard, but now doesn't work in Snow Leopard.

I have managed to find a solution to scanning via my Samsung SCX-4826 multifunction. I plugged it in via usb directly to my Mac Pro, installed the printer and scan-thru software and expected it to just work. Printing worked the first time, however the scanning was tough. This is not the cleanest solution, but it works just fine for me. So I installed Acrobat Pro and use the Create PDF From Scanner command under File and it finds the scanner. Then it pops up the Samsung software and scans right into Acrobat. In order to scan another document, I need to quit Acrobat and restart the application for it to recognize the scanner again. If this is how it needs to work, fine with me.

    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.

    Do a google around for that printer and airport usb.. (since airport is more common).
    eg. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1785847?start=0&tstart=0
    Not all printers work or work well through usb print server.. often the drivers are just not written for remote usb connection. Or the printer is GDI type and actually needs direct connection to process the job.
    Proper network inkjet printers are cheap.. keep the Canon connected to a computer if you want.. and get a wireless or ethernet network printer.. do not use the USB.. use the printers own internal print server.. and these days make sure it does airprint if you want to use iOS devices.
    Remember the printer is cheap.. the companies make all their money on blades ink cartridges. Which they now add chips to, to prevent you cheating and buying OEM types.

  • 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.

  • 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 ....

  • Hi anyone got a SAMSUNG SCX-4200 PRINTER working with a Mac ?

    Hi has anyone managed to get a Samsung scx-4200 printer working with a mac?
    2011 driver was the last driver update for mac i hear, downloaded tried a couple but no luck!!!

    okay, from what I've read, samsung driver support lies with Apple and not Samsung, so if you can, do a software update
    you can try here, apparently, for something that sorta works with your printer
    http://www.samsung.com/nl/support/model/SCX-4623FN/SEE
    other than that, Gutenprint maybe?
    for scanning, I don't know, maybe vuescan
    sorry, the crystal ball has gone darkk......

  • 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.

  • Samsung SCX-4200, Print and Scanning now working in Snow Leopard 10.6

    I found the printer can print right off the bat by selecting the SCX-4300 series driver after the auto-detect.
    For scanning, install the Scan driver on this page:
    http://www.samsung.com/us/support/supportDownloadCenter.do?prdia_cd=N0000191&prd_mdl_cd=SCX-4200%2FXAA&prd_mdlname=SCX-4200
    You'll need to restart your Mac, but now it works perfectly

    Hey all,
    A quick follow-up to keep you up to date with regards to the repot above...Upon launching the Scanner service from within System Preferences > Print & Fax > "Open Scanner", in a working setup (i.e. upon a fresh system restart), the console presents the following:
    20/4/11 3:15:07 PM          PrinterProxy[1162]          *** Assertion failure in -[NSMenu itemAtIndex:], /SourceCache/AppKit/AppKit-1038.35/Menus.subproj/NSMenu.m:779
    20/4/11 3:15:07 PM          PrinterProxy[1162]          Invalid parameter not satisfying: (index >= 0) && (index < [_itemArray count])
    This new clue along with all the previous console messages probably shout out the cause of the problem, but as I mentioned before I am unable to interpret any of it..Bring on the big guns...any UNIX/OSX masterchiefs around here?
    Regards,
    Dimitris

  • 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.

  • [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
    Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0020 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 001 Device 004: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver

    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    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.

  • 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.

  • Problem scanning docs with Samsung SCX-4300 with OS 10.4.11

    On my 1.86ghz Intel Duo running OS 10.4.11, I installed the print and scan drivers for the Samsung SCX-4300 multi printer. At least I believe I did, cause I can print fine. And in Image Capture, I can see the SCX-4300, and can see an overview of the page that I want to scan. But the scan button itself, never turns from grey to black, so I can't activate the command to scan in Image Capture. Any ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Sometimes click and drag from top left to bottom right let's you highlight the area of the page you want the scan to appear in on some scanning software, and that then enables the scan button. Have you tried that? Note: I don't have your particular scanner.
    Some scanners have a scan button on the scanner, and that offers on an LED display the option to scan to document. That should activate software on the Mac if the scanner software is known to be 10.4.11 compatible.

  • 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,
