Samsung SCX-4200 scanner does not work on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

[EckyBrazzz]

Hi,

I had the same problem, but resolved it in 8.10 x64

Solution :

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

and add after the last line

none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0

Hope it helps someone

Regards,

I solved doing this:

The same manual for hardy cannot be followed by intrepid because
/etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh was updated.

To reenable support on /proc/bus/usb/00*/00*, add yourself to the groups lp, lpadmin and scanner:

sudo adduser your_login_here lp
sudo adduser your_login_here lpadmin
sudo adduser your_login_here scanner

and edit the file /etc/init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh. ADD THE LINES:

#
# Magic to KEEP /proc/bus/usb working
#
mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs usbfs -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb

right below the line

domount devpts "" /dev/pts devpts -onoexec,nosuid,gid=$TTYGRP,mode=$TTYMODE

Finally, reboot.
