Samsung Xpress M2675FN
Manjaro Linux Linux 6.12.34-1-MANJARO (x86_64)
Printer is Network connected via CUPS and ipp
Samsung unified driver 1.00.39-11, installed from AUR Repo
Cannot connect to Scanner. USB-port is dead. Setup via Network is mandatory. Printing is OK.

I could print and scan via network without any problems. Then a flash hit my computer and I am just installing a ne one. While that, I found, that the USB port of the printer is damaged also, so that I can access the printer only by network via CUPS and the Samsung driver integrated in CUPS.

Then I assumed, that I could get the scan function only by installing the samsung-unified-driver from AUR repo (I am on Manjaro / Arch-Linux) and in conjunction with an usb-port.

Luckily I have a second printer and same model with USB port working. I installed and I could scan with this second printer.

Then I returned to the printer with dead USB port, hoping, I now could scan via network, as the drivers are initialized correctly. But nope! – Everything was like before: I can print via network but cannot scan.

Due to other issues, I cannot use the other printer and connect via usb.

How can I manage to achieve scanning via network???

Have you tried the various strategies given on the scanning page (https://www.bchemnet.com/suldr/scanning.html), specifically issue 11?

Unfortunately that collection of posts is probably all the specific guidance that I can provide.
