Updating to Mavericks Samsung Scx-4200 can no longer print and scan.

In the Apple's driver list my Samsung Scx-4200 doesn't appear any more.

Are there any other compatible drivers to make my printer working?😕

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Amazing - patrick.voullie, after years of this problem you finally solved it! Can confirm this is still working for Samsung SCX 4200 in Yosemite.


For a moment I thought it wasn't working as the scanner didn't show up in Image Capture or Preview, however if you go to the scanner via system preferences>Printers & Scanners> [Your device name] amazingly there is now a print and also a scan tab from where you can scan :-)

I am having the same issue with my Samsung 4200 scanner. I have all the correct drivers but I need to be able to scan. I can print but I cannot scan. Previously I was able to scan documents and photos into Word documents. The source of the problem - Microsoft Word 2011. It seems that Word 2011 (which I had to upgrade to last year when I bought my iPad) no longer allows you to insert a photo from a camera or scanner. Does anyone know how to scan a document without using MS Word?


Thanks

I've had a note that this discussion should be closed as the issue is resolved.


Sorry, the issue is still not resolved. I have a lovely printer/scanner that I really like but it won't do the job I need (scan ) because of the endless changes to Microsoft Word.


Totally frustrating. Not everyone wants to buy a new printer/scanner when the old one is still good.

If you don't want to read the full post just follow those two steps:


1. Download the "TwainBridge.app" here: diesem Download hier

2. and copy it in that Direction: /System/Library/Image Capture/Devices


Cheers Guys

Hi,


just found a solution! It seems that there is a compatible driver afterall...


Go to this link (it's an official Samsung dutch site) and scroll down to where it says "Stuurprogramma" and download the Scan Driver which is for Mac OS 10.9 (61.44MB) http://www.samsung.com/nl/support/model/SCX-4623FN/SEE


If your Mac doesn't extract the zip automatically then extract it manually. Go into the extracted folder and launch "Installer OS X.app". Note that the Mac OS Gatekeeper might not let you open that file as it might treat it as malware etc (which is weird because the driver came from official Samsung site...). In that case just right-click on the file, then hold down ctrl and click on Open. That should do it. From this point on everything else is straightforward as in a casual installer. Note that you should quit any other open applications before installing scanner drivers!


Now the installer contains several different components (printer driver, scan driver, scan thru software and ica driver). I installed all of these components! Also note that the installer will ask you to restart your computer after it has installed just the first or second component, but don't restart it at this moment. Keep installing until you have installed everything you can (until there is no more installer icons in the dock) and after that you should restart your Mac.


When the Mac has restarted, connect your SCX-4200 to your Mac via usb and go into Applications folder and navigate to Samsung --> Scan & Fax Manager.app. Launch it and you should see your SCX-4200 listed in there which should let you use it as scanner...


Hope this helps.
