Samsung SCX-4100 won't scan on 14.04 but will print
I followed the helpful advice on Askubuntu Q554686 [& checked my keying twice] but all I end up with is:
"root@
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 INPUT TO TERMINAL:
"root@
OUTPUT=
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that
# you have loaded a kernel SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

Not checking for parallel port scanners.
Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
# can't be detected by this program.
You may want to run this program as root to find all devices. Once you
# found the scanner devices, be sure to adjust access permissions as # necessary."
SO AS ADVISED I RUN:
"root@
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the # result is different from what you expected, first make sure your # scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that

found USB scanner (vendor=0x0ace [ZyDAS], product=0x1215 [USB2.0 WLAN]) at libusb:002:004 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

# can't be detected by this program."
SO, INTO 'Gedit *SCX-4100' [whIch was TOTALLY blank when opened] I typed:
usb
usb 0x0ace 0x1215
TRIED:
root@
AGAIN RETURNS:
"No scanners were identified... etc"
HOWEVER THE SCANNER 'FOUND' BY 'sudo sane-find-scanner' [ABOVE] "vendor=0x0ace [ZyDAS], product=0x1215" Is NOT the code shown on http://
The printer still prints OK [so is recognised and connected via usb] Where have I gone wrong please?
