Samsung Printer scan driver for Lion 10.7.2

I have a Samsung printer model SCX-4521f .

It seems that Samsung doesn't have a scan driver for Lion 10.7.2 (There is only for 10.6 ver )

Can someone advise me please what to do ?

Thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Please look over Printer and scanner software 10.6.x, this will tell you whether there is a supported driver or not. If you don't see your specific model look for the series, for example it may come up as SCX-4500 series. I would ignore Samsung's driver and use the one supplied by Apple, I did see the SCX-4500 series is supported for Print & Scan. After you have installed it use Image Capture (Applications - Image Capture) as your scanning app.


Also please use Printing Overview OS X Lion for the correct instructions on how to add the device. Read the article carefully and follow it to the letter!

Here is what I'd recommend, if the device can be seen in the Print & Scan preferences then right click it and choose Reset printing system... like the example below. Then try again if that does not work then I would recommend uninstalling the printer completely by highlighting it in Print & Scan, click the - symbol below it (look in my photo below for that) and then restarting the computer in Safe Mode , this will clear some caches that may have become corrupt in the process. This will also have you beginning with a fresh pallete. Make sure the printer is not physically connected to the computer during this process. Next follow the instructions for adding a printer using Apple's instructions in Printing Overview OS X Lion. Do not use Samsungs drivers!
