How to use Samsung SCX 3201 with XSane Image Scanner

  • 772

Ubuntu 17.10 64 Bit

I recently purchased a Multi function printer Samsung SCX 3201 (now HP) The printer is working properly. But am unable to run the scanner. If I run XSane it does not detect the scanner. I downloaded the drivers from the hp web site. the file is ULD, with .sh files inside it. How do I install/ use the scanner. Somewhere it was mentioned that Vue scanner can help, but how do I install it.

  1. to install the scanner, the package one downloads from HP/Samsung is uld_v1.00.36_00.91.tar.gz so if one opens a terminal (holding 3 keys down, the control and alt and t keys ..) and then copies the commands below; line by line; ).. so each line is separate ..)and pastes them into the terminal; and hit the ENTER key after each paste

    (this assumes by default the downloaded package is saved to the Downloads folder)

    cd Downloads

tar -zxvf uld_v1.00.36_00.91.tar.gz

cd uld

sudo ./install-scanner.sh

    and that last command should get the scanner set up for you
