Windows 10: difficulty printing to samsung scx-5935fn printer

hi all
my wife is opening a nonprofit and the prior building owners left their samsung printer scx-5935. The online manual is..interesting.
That being said I have tried two different set ups.

1. printer connected to desktop pc whose connection is wifi. This PC can print to the printer fine. However, sharing it does not seem to work and I ran into issues with logins that do not work etc. We can go that route if that better.

2. printer connected to the the nearby wifi extender. This is a linksys extender re 7000. Everything on the network can see the printer as a network device but nothing can print to it.

the pc is running windows 10 latest update (I can post the exact version number when at the office in the morning)

I can provide any other information desired of course. I will be back at the office in the AM
the desire is for anything on the network to print to the pc. since this PC does NOT have wifi and the office is NOT wired for ethernet, options are limited. If needed I can run ethernet but would like to avoid it.
thank you!

:)

 

Samsung SCX-2405W printer won't printer from computer

The most likely reason is that your printer is "connected" to your computer via wi-fi and your router has assigned a new IP address to the computer. First, however, rule out a general printer failure by printing some test report using the printer's front
panel controls. See your User Guide for details.

By default, wireless printers are configured to obtain an IP address automatically from your router. The problem is that the Windows printing system very rarely is capable of determining if a printer's IP address has changed after installation. This
results in print jobs continuing to be sent to the old IP address and because there is no longer a printer at that address, the print jobs just disappear.

Diagnose as follows.

A. Determine the IP address that is configured in Windows

1. Go to Devices and Printers, right-click on the icon for your printer, and select "Printer properties"
2. On the "Ports" tab, look at the line that is checked and highlighted for the IP address; you probably will have to click and drag on the faint vertical line in the header row between "Port" and "Description" in order to see the entire IP address.
3. Cancel out of Printer properties at this point

B. Determine the IP address that is configured on the printer

1. Do this using the printer's front panel controls.
2. For the SCX-340xW series

If the IP address reported on the printer's network configuration page is not the same as the IP address shown in the "Printer properties" dialog on your computer, follow the directions below. Otherwise, Reply here for more help. Include the IP address
information from both sources in your Reply.

I couldn't find any reference to a Samsung SCX-2405W printer. Do you perhaps have an SCX-3405W? See

Because you have an All-in-One device, it may be simplest to uninstall and reinstall the printer in order to be sure that both the printing and scanning functions will work. See

If your scanner still works, however, you can shorten the procedure:

1. Go to Devices and Printers, right-click on the printer's icon, and "Remove device"
2. Click the link at the top of the Devices and Printers window to "Add a printer"
3. Click "Add a network, wireless, or Bluetooth printer," wait until your wireless printer is detected, and complete the wizard.

Samsung SCX-4100 Printer - Getting Working (Scanning + Printing) with Windows 10

I was able to get my SCX-4100 working on a clean install. The only thing you need is the scanner driver, but it seems this file is not available on Samsung's support site. Windows 10 will install the Samsung Universal Print Driver 3 when you connect the
printer, which works for printing. I had the Windows 7 scanner driver on my backup drive. The file name is SCX-4100_Win7_Scan.exe, and it installs and works just fine in Windows 10. Install the SmarThru software and use it for scanning.

At the time of this post, no downloads are available at all on the Samsung US website, but the SmarThru software is available on the Samsung UK website (http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/model/SCX-4100).
