I agree with you - but none-the-less, sadly, it is common practice. I often don't understand things. I do not even know what HPLIP stands for. (Though I know what it is, as I do HPIJS.) In my own defence, not understanding it in this case didn't matter because I had said the exact model number to which I was referring. "Multifunction" would have been better. > > 2. How did you manage to get the scanning, working?

Talk to Samsung. They helped me when I first installed the CLX4195FN. You will have to fight your way past first line support to reach those who actually know something. > I am assuming that you are using Debian 6 or later, for your CLX 4195FN. From the second email in this thread, which I sent immediately after I had sent the first: <quote> I omitted to say that the two computers are both running Debian Wheezy with TDE 3.5.13.2. The router is one supplied by Virgin (a cable company). I have no details. </quote> Sorry. I obviously ought to have included it in the original mail.
