CLX-3305W in ubuntu 13.04

[raulmateos]

Hello!

I have ubuntu 13.04 64 bits.
I just bought my CLX-3305W. I downloaded the UnifiedLinuxDriver_CLX-3300_0.86.tar.gz file. Installed it, and no USB scanner detected, yes the printer. These are the outputs:

root@linx:/etc/sane.d# lsusb

- sane-find-scanner -v returns nothing

I had a problem installing the UnifiedLinux driver, SANE was not detected. Checkin the install.sh, I linked the library libsaned.so.1 from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ to /usr/lib64/ and installed it.

Any thought?

Thank you in advance,

Try removing the driver, then installing it using the repository.

[raulmateos]

I did it. Added the repository and tried both 4.0.39 and 4.1.17 drivers. Still no scanner, and with those drivers, the printer isn't recognised.

All dependencies looks like installed, maybe some kernel module?

Thanks again,

Raul

If you are connecting to the printer over the wireless network, it could be a network connection issue.  Can you ping the printer?

[raulmateos]

I am using the USB port, not the Wireless Network. I'll try tonight the Wireless. Maybe the system is unable to recognize the driver (.so library). Is there any kernel dependency I may be missing, or any other command I can run to check the output? I am using liquorix kernel. I will try other kernels this evening.

Thank you, any way,

Raul

If by "printer isn't recognized" you mean that you can't even set up the printer to configure it, then the problem is with the USB detection.  Sometimes just switching the USB port in use can clear that problem.

Hi solved it! Now I detect two scanners...

I don't know which was the real problem because I changed several things:

- I have the suld-

- switched the usb port

- added my user to the scanner group

- removed the tlp and tlp-rw packages (I found there were some conflict with the usb)

- edit /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf to add:
# Samsung CLX-3305
usb 0x04e8 0x3456

- edit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules to add:
# Samsung CLX-3305
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3456", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

- copied the .so libraries included in the official UnifiedLinuxDriver_CLX-3300_0.86.tar.gz from ./cdroot/Linux/x86_64/at_root/usr/lib64  to /usr/lib64 (maybe this is causing to detect two Samsung scanners, with two different names)

Hope it will help somebody...

I think I don't forget anything.

Kind regards,

Raul

- edit /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf to add:
# Samsung CLX-3305
usb 0x04e8 0x3456

- edit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules to add:

ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="3456", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

The above piece is what enabled your scanner.  I will add this to the list of printers that the packages trigger xerox_mfp support for now that you have shared the ID information.  I thought the CLX-3305 was already included, but apparently not.

I'm not sure why you see two scanners, but that seems to occasionally occur.
