Since there seems to be different implementations of the scan to PC function, I would like to ask the community to help finding out which models works with my tool. Please share answer this thread with your experience, including at least the model, version of the scanner package and if it works or not.

MODEL                        Samsung Driver             suld-scantopc       STATUS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLX-3300 Series         suld-driver-4.00.39       0.4.1-2                  OK - Driver 4.01 fails for multipage scan

Hi,

I wanted to make usage of the "scan to PC" option of my Samsung CLX 3300 in order to save documents to my local Linux server. This way I would not have to turn on the computer just to trigger the scan.

Unfortunately the Samsung Unified Linux Driver does not support this feature so I created my own implementation after doing a reverse engineering of the messages sent by the windows version. My implementation uses python and sane and allows defining several configuration setups. The code is still very primitive (I just finished getting it working) so the following things are missing:

* PDFs and TIFFs get a file/page, even if you select M_PDF or M_TIFF
* create debian package
* add image enhancements (the Python PIL include several but I did not try them yet)

Enjoy and let me know if it works for you or you have patches to improve it.
