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
SCX-4728FD                suld-driver-4.00.39-1   0.4.3-1                  OK - Scantopc 0.4.3-1 requires a few mods according to: http://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/forum/index.php?topic=157.0

I just tried the proposed solution and it worked like a charm.

Of course I also had to add the following options in the config file:
    {'name':'Gray_PDF-300' ,'color':'COLOR_GRAY','resolution':'DPI_300','format':'FORMAT_PDF','size':'SIZE_A4','output':OUTPUT_PREFIX, 'filters':[]},
    {'name':'Color_PDF-300','color':'COLOR_TRUE','resolution':'DPI_300','format':'FORMAT_PDF','size':'SIZE_A4','output':OUTPUT_PREFIX, 'filters':[]},

It does take more time to scan multiple pages compared to a windows pc, but as I read in another thread this is a different issue.

So I can confirm that with these modifications scan to pc function also works for SCX-4728FD model.

Thank you very much for all the help.

Thanks a lot for the quick responce.

The printer is in my office and I am on vacation from today for two weeks :), so I will give it a try when I get back and post the results.

Btw, you guys are doing a great job supporting samsung printers with your work.

Cheers.

Hello,

I own a Samsung SCX-4728FD multifunction device.

The printer driver worked like a charm, but I am facing some issues with scantopc application.

I installed from the repository which was updated today on my laptop which is running debian 7.0

The function works pretty well when I choose JPEG as the format.

But when I choose PDF format the scan fails to complete and I get the following error in logs:

Similar log errors for every available PDF options.

I tried with the modified sane value set to true but in this case the scan stops earlier with connection issues.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thank you in advance.
