Scanner is not working anymore after using the printer function on SXC-4200 over USB. Printer requires to be reconnected or rebooted.
Scanning applications using SANE time-out, scanimage:
Sometimes it works, however the scanner reacts slowly and sometimes needs several retries. The scanning fix, which seems to be reloading the usblp kernel module as is provided by suld-scanner-usblp-fix, is not reliable. Sometimes after minutes, it starts working again.
SCX-4200 firmare 1.13 V1.01.00 QDPL 1.40 11-14-2005
Using Fedora 38 X86_64, uld 1.00.39 from bchemnet.com. scanimage (sane-backends) 1.2.1; backend version 1.2.1 . Tried USB3 and USB2 port, no difference.
Kernel log shows the Samsung is going through several series of removing the device and reconnecting during scanning attempts, sometimes succeeding, most of the times not.
Will try to test older driver versions, different distros, different hardware.
It is unclear if this is a problem with the device itself.
If anyone has any experiences please let us make a solution to share with all of us here.
