Solving other problems Common Linux problems Condition Suggested solutions There is no xsane nor simplescan application on my Linux machine. For some Linux distributions, there might be no default scan application. To use scan features, install one of scan applications using download center supplied by the OS(ex. Ubuntu Software Center for Ubuntu, Install/Remove Software for openSUSE, Software for Fedora). Scanner can not be found via network. For some Linux distributions, strong firewall is enabled and it may block our installer from opening the necessary port for searching network devices. In such a case, open the snmp port - 22161 manually or disable the firewall temporarily while using the device. When printing more than one copy, the second copy does not print. The problem occurs on Ubuntu 12.04 due to the problem in standard CUPS filter 'pdftops'. Update 'cups-filters' package to version 1.0.18 to fix the problem ('pdftops' is a part of 'cups-filters' package). Unchecking the collate option in the Print Dialog does not work. For some distributions, GNOME Print Dialog has an issue handling the collate option. As workaround, set the default value of collate option to False using the system's printing utility(execute "system-config-printer" in the Terminal program). Condition Printing always works with duplex. Printer is not added through system's printing utility. Paper size and orientation are disabled in the Print Dialog when opening text files. Suggested solutions This duplex issue was in Ubuntu 9.10 CUPS package. Update CUPS version to 1.4.15ubuntu2.2. The problem occurs on Debian 7 due to the defect in 'system-config-printer' package of the Debian 7 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgibin/bugreport.cgi?bug=662813 in Debian bug tracking system). Please use another way to add printer (CUPS WebUI for example) The problem occurs on Fedora 19 and it's related to 'leafpad' text editor on Fedora 19. Please use other text editors like 'gedit'.

Paper size and orientation are
disabled in the Print Dialog

The problem occurs on Fedora 19 and it's
related to 'leafpad' text editor on Fedora 19.
Please use other text editors like 'gedit'.
