Samsung SCX-4200 Printer

Teddy:
You can also try installing the Windows drivers in Wine, and try to print a test page with it. A more reliable way for me is using VirtualBox (with Windows XP) if you cannot get that printer / scanner working under Linux natively. The scanner probably will not work natively under Linux, as my Canon Pixma MX410 (Good Cheap $70 All-In-One) doesn't work with scanning, but printing works beautifully. It might be worth the shot to try a program called Simple Scan and see if it recognizes that Samsung Scanner. Hope it goes well.

Mr Plod:
I'll look into the scanner at some time in the future. The main thing was to get my Printer working.

Thank You

There is a slightly outdated thread for this on ubuntu (which is the base for LL) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341621 which points to http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/ But reading the thread will give you exactly what you want I believe. It's very hard to find exact instructions not owning the actual hardware.

Mr Plod:
Thank You Mr ShaggyDope!
Not that it matters too much... but, just out of interest is the same thing available for the scanner?

shaggytwodope:
The driver is available in the repos open a terminal and type:


--- Code: ---sudo apt-get install printer-driver-splix
--- End code ---
