[Solved]Samsung M288x Scanner and Mint 19 Cinnamon

Post by steven64 »

Just getting a new install of Mint 19 and my Samsung M2885FW MFP setup and running into issues with having the scanner recognized.

the first thing done (after apt update / upgrade) is to download the current driver package from HP (yeah, samsung sold printer biz to HP) and run the install scripts. Printer is added and prints just fine. Installed xsane and when started, no scanners found. Removed and reinstalled scanner driver and get the following:
---------------------------------------------------------
**** Do you agree ? [y/n] : y
**** Registering SANE backend ...
**** Restarting udev ...
**** Scan driver has been installed successfully.
**** Install finished.

------------------------------------------------------------
So all looks good, only still no scanners found with either xsane or simple scan. Reboot into the Mint 18.3 system installed on my box and scanner is picked up and scans fine with xsane. To me the issue looks to be Mint 19 related since thats the only change.

Anyone else having similar issue in Mint 19?

Installed ULD from hp/samsung site, software is installed, but in the simple scan-menu the scanner does not show up in settings.

"scanimage -L" kind of works, since it wakes up the scanner, but it dosnt scan anything.

I was having the same trouble with my Samsung SCX-3405FW.

I found some instructions here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/969238/ ... g-in-17-10

Specifically, the part saying this:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane
sudo ln -s /opt/smfp-common/scanner/lib/libsane-smfp.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-smfp.so.1
That fixed the problem for me in Linux Mint 19.

HP explicitly states that its drivers do NOT support Mint 19. In some cases the drivers for 18.3 will still work. In other cases the won't. We need to wait for either HP or the Mint developers to resolve the problem introduced in Mint 19.
