How to use network scanner (Samsung Clx 2160n)

Question

I have a Samsung Clx2120N multi-functional (scanner, printer and copier) and this is connected to router (home office), I have two computers and one notebook in the network, but no has a server printer, all equipment send jobs for print direct, they have a network printer configured. I tried several times to install the scanner and I don't have success. Anyone have a suggestion?

System -> Administration -> User and Groups and add 'cupsys' user to the 'shadow' group.

Get the driver from Samsung. Go to cups admin localhost:631 with your browser then click on the Administration tab
