I needed a printer, so one of the reasons I opted for the Samsung SCX-4200 3-in-1, apart from Paddy Doyle’s recommendation, was that it supported Linux.

But could I get it to work? Umm…

Needless to say, it worked in XP for me - a smooth install from the cd.

All is not lost, however.

Elijah Lofgren’s Ubuntu and Kubuntu Linux Tips has a special section called Get Samsung SCX-4100 printer and scanner working

I tried this with the help of my pal Pirooz, who is a Linux veteran, but to no avail, but I think I know what’s wrong. Eternal optimist, am I.
Along with the Samsung User Guide for installing the driver, and the
SCX-4200 Unified Linux Driver., I should get it going.

The story will be told here…
