I am stuck on the configuration of the scanner functionality for a Samsung SCX-4500W multifunction printer/scanner.

I can get the printing function of this printer to work by the following steps:

1) Add a line to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-usbprinter.rules containing: ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="342b", MODE:="0660", GROUP:="lp"

I have a SCX-4200 MFP, quite similar to yours, and this is my udev rule:

ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="341b", MODE:="0660", GROUP:="lp", ENV{libsane_matched}:="yes"

The product is different, obviously, but note the added environment variable. I cannot remember why I put it there, but hey! there it is, and it works.

$ scanimage -L device `xerox_mfp:libusb:002:002' is a SAMSUNG ORION multi-function peripheral

Thanks Rodrigo,

I tried adding in the additional environment variable and rebooted the machine - when I do: $ scanimage -L device `xerox_mfp:libusb:001:006' is a Samsung Samsung SCX-4500W Series multi-function peripheral

But if I do it again then:

scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

So it is still not working - when I went to the GIMP and tried to create a scan it hung GIMP after not finding any scanner devices.

So clearly I am missing something in the configs somewhere - but I don't know where to look next?

That's weird... I don't have any of these. No udev-configure-printer, configure-printer@.service... nothing like that. Where did all of these come from? Other than that, I have the more or less standard configuration for the printer in cups, but that should not make much of a difference. A quick test... you are member of the `lp` group, aren't you? Another one... something strange in `dmesg`?
