[sane-devel] Samsung SCX-4828FN works with the xerox_mfp driver.

[John Steele Scott]

toojays at yoshi:~$ sane-find-scanner
...
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04e8 [Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.], 
product=0x342d [SCX-4x28 Series]) at libusb:001:019

toojays at yoshi:~$ scanimage -L
device `xerox_mfp:libusb:001:019' is a Samsung Samsung SCX-4x28 Series 
multi-function peripheral

I had to add a HAL FDI file like so:

toojays at yoshi:~$ cat /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/scx4828.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
   <device>
     <!-- USB-SUBSYSTEM -->
     <match key="info.subsystem" string="usb">
       <match key="usb.vendor_id" int="0x4e8">
         <!-- Samsung SCX-4828FN -->
         <match key="usb.product_id" int="0x342d">
           <append key="info.capabilities" type="strlist">scanner</append>
         </match>
       </match>
     </match>
   </device>
</deviceinfo>

and add the following lines to my xerox_mfp.conf:

toojays at yoshi:~$ tail -n3 /etc/sane.d/xerox_mfp.conf
# Samsung SCX-4828FN
usb 0x04e8 0x342d

And now my SCX-4828FN works nicely via the USB port, without needing 
Samsung's binary.

thanks,

John
