Hi, I have a fresh install of elementary os 5.1 hera. The only thing I am stuck with is trying to get this os to work with my Samsung C480W printer + scanner. The printer works fine but the scanner simply won't connect over the LAN. I have already installed the recommended samsung uld driver and created the required soft links for libsane.so. The same scanner works fine with a laptop running linux mint 19.2 (also based on Ubuntu 18.04 and having the same uld drivers). The only errors I can see are in /var/log/syslog which seem to suggest the scanner details cannot be found in a file called models.dat. Has anybody faced and solved a similar problem on elementary? Any help in getting this to work will be quite appreciated. Regards Dipak Jha
After 2 days of scratching my head, I finally found a solution here: https://linux.tutorialforbeginners....inter-driver-ubuntu-18-04-installation-guide/ I followed these instructions step by step and now have a system that seamless connects to the C48 series Samsung scanner and correctly scans documents. The error about details not being found in models.dat turns out to be a red herring since I can still see the warnings in syslog despite the system happily scanning away. But must say this has been a rather painful journey with a massive amount of effort having been invested in solving a seemingly simple issue. Regards Dipak Jha
