Windows 10: Windows 10 can't install Samsung SCX-4100 Series Multifunction Printer softwar to scan.

I have a Samsung SCX-4100 Series Multifunction Printer, once I cable connected it to my Windows 10 computer, it can print. But windows 10 can't install Samsung SCX-4100 Series software.


My questions are

1. How I can install this old Software to my Windows 10 Computer?

2. If this software is too old to install, where I can download a new version so that I could continue using this Samsung SCX-4100 Series Multifunction Printer to scan.

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 (HP and Samsung printers | HP® Official Site).

 

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

I am writing after working out how to install the obsolete Samsung SCX-4100 Scanner/Printer under Windows 10 and to help others if struggling to do so. Hopefully the search engines will index it appropriately.

For printing use the latest universal printing driver on the Samsung support website. Printing will then work whether old driver/software already (prior to upgrading your old Windows to v10) or not. But scanning does seem to require SCX-4100Twain driver
to be on system installed from the original software.

So assuming older printing/scanning software preloaded:-

Install the universal driver "SamsungUniversalPrintDriver2.exe". Now two printers will show under "Devices and Printers" - you can delete older SCX-4100 icon, keep the universal printer icon in "Devices and Printers". If ever need to reinstall universal driver
and install program cant see printer turn off/on while install program searching for it (it worked for me).

Scanning software is "SmarThruOffice_V2.10.00.07" from Samsung website and requires extracted from exe self-executing archive, otherwise fails on installation of the exe saying publisher blocked. Right click on the exe and use "extract to..." to empty contents
into directories. Once extracted go into TEMP>STO folder and install SmartThru2 by clicking on setup program in this directory..

Then open SmartThru and select SCX-4100Twain driver from scanner choice. Will definitely be there if old software was installed first, otherwise probably not (I have not tested SmartThru2 clean install without the older original software already being on there.

(Cant say for sure as did recent upgrade old software on from window 7 before it)

Please do not reply unless you have question or something worhtwhile to add. My other post seem to get spammed by random users posting irrelevant advice in order to bump up thier post count. But relevant discussion is welcome.
