I don't know if your problem still exists since it's about a month back
you wrote about it, but I did not find any post regarding a solution.
Since the automagic setup by your distro's predefined udev rules seems
to fail, we have to force udev doing our biding.
First, comment out the above line in 70-printers-rules.
Second, create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-samsung-scx4500w.rules
Third, add the follwing lines to the newly created file:
--- Start here ---
# ACL settings for Samsung SCX-4500W printer MFP
ATTR{idVendor}=="04e8", ATTR{idProduct}=="342b", GOTO="samsung"
GOTO="samsung_end"
LABEL="samsung"
RUN+="/bin/setfacl -m g:scanner:rw -m g:lp:rw $env{DEVNAME}"
TEST=="/var/run/ConsoleKit/database", \
RUN+="udev-acl --action=$env{ACTION} --device=$env{DEVNAME}"
LABEL="samsung_end"
--- Stop here ---
You can copy and paste the aboce lines. That should set the permissions
for your multi function device so that sane, cups and your logged in
users have complete access. Unplug and plug in again and see if that
works.
