The operation of any devices included in the system is provided by special program drivers. Today we will find and install the software for the multifunctional device Samsung SCX 4300.
Download and install SAMSUNG SCX 4300 driver
Methods that can solve the task is divided into two groups - manual, with a visit to the official site, and automatic, using various software tools. Below we will analyze all possible options.Method 1: Loading from the official page
It would be logical to search for drivers on the SAMSUNG support site, but in this case there will be a failure. The fact is that all the information and the necessary files "moved" to the Hewlett-Packard resource, and now you can only get there.
Go to the downloads page of the drivers
- After the transition, the first thing is to check how the automatic system determined the WINDOVS version installed on our computer. If it was wrong, go to changing data. Also these actions need to be made if required for another PC.
In the drop-down lists, choose the desired version and confirm the changes.
- Further there are two options. In the first case, open the sections indicated on the screenshot, we will receive a list containing "firewood" for the printer and scanner (two packages).
In the second only one versatile print driver.
- Download files to your PC.
Next, we make the installation of downloaded packages.
Universal Print Driver
- Run the driver installer, leave the switch in the "Set" position and press the "OK" button.
- I confirm your consent with the text of the license agreement (we put a daw in the specified Chekbox) and then follow.
- Installation method Select the lowest, without prior connection device.
- The desired software will already be selected automatically, especially since the list consists of only one item. Run the installation.
- Complete the installation of the driver by clicking "Finish".
Driver for printer and scanner
- Double-click on the downloaded installer and at the first stage, choose the path to unzip the package. It is not necessary to make complex solutions here, since this is not a key point. You can leave the value offered by the program.
- Select the language on which the installation will be made.
- We leave the usual type of operation.
- In the next window, you will be prompted to connect the device to the PC. This can not be done yet, but just click "Next." If MFP is already included in the appropriate port, further actions will be similar.
- Click "No" to install without connecting.
- The "Finish" button closes the installation program.
We repeat the operation with the driver for the scanner included in the MFP.
Method 2: Specialized Software
The purpose of such programs is to scan system directories containing drivers to identify outdated or missing files for already connected devices. We turn to help Driverpack Solution, as the most convenient tool. It allows you to search and install software without fermentation "on the Internet", which greatly simplifies the process itself and improves safety.

Method 4: Standard System Tools
Using standard means involves the search for existing drivers in the system storage, which is automatically created when Windows is installed. It can only use PC owners under the control of Win Vista, 7 and 8. It is due to the fact that in older versions the necessary packages are simply missing, and most of the files from the "Dozens" repository on the Microsoft update servers.

If you have an XP or "dozen", use previous ways, and for the "seven" and "eight" actions will be as follows:

Control
- Turning on the "Minor Icons" viewer, go to the "Devices and Printers" section.
- Run the "installation wizard" button shown in the screenshot.
- Next, select an option with the addition of a local printer.
- Customize the port (if the device is not connected, then do not touch anything).
- The following window contains lists of manufacturers and models. We find the right items and go further.
- Here you can specify a new device name or leave the "Master" suggested.
- If necessary, set the collaboration settings to the device.
- Finish the installation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, you can give a couple of tips. First - use only files obtained from proven sources, best with official support pages. Second - Do not attempt to replace the driver by packages for similar models in order to obtain new features. This can lead to conflict, or your device simply refuses to work. We have led all possible options for installing the right "firewood" for the Samsung SCX 4300 MFP, and this is quite enough for its normal functioning.
