Hello.
Two things.
1. The use of the acronyms can make it difficult to understand such
messages. After a while, I believe that figured out the "AIO" (= All
in One?), but I do not understand the "ULD". If people could avoid the
use of acronyms, it would make understanding messages, easier for us
simple foilk.
2. How did you manage to get the scanning, working?
I have previously mentioned, on this, or the Debian printing list,
that I have a Samsung CLX3185FW (which I believe, is supposed to also
be able to operate as a network device, wireless or wired), but that I
have not been able to scan from it to a computer, since Debian 6 was
implemented.
I am assuming that you are using Debian 6 or later, for your CLX 4195FN.
