The Samsung SCX-4300 often has problems specifically with the printer driver<\/strong> on Windows 10 and Windows 11. It usually looks like this: the driver seems to install, but the printer does not print, is not detected correctly by the system, print jobs disappear from the queue, or Windows uses the wrong driver.<\/p>\n

For the Samsung SCX-4300, it is better to try the official model-specific print driver<\/strong> first, not Samsung Universal Print Driver. This guide is intended primarily for the situation where the printer has already been installed before, but it still does not work after installation.<\/p>\n

Important:<\/strong> this article applies only to the printer driver<\/strong>. Scanner driver installation is not covered here.<\/p>\n

Where to download the Samsung SCX-4300 printer driver<\/h2>\n

Official support page:<\/strong>
\nOpen the Samsung SCX-4300 driver page on the HP website<\/a><\/p>\n

Direct official link to the print driver:<\/strong>
\nDownload SCX-4300_Print.exe<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: the official support page is on the HP website because support for Samsung printers is now handled by HP.<\/em><\/p>\n

Before installation (important)<\/h2>\n

Main rule:<\/strong> do not connect the printer to the computer in advance. Start the installation first, and connect the USB cable only when the installer asks you to do so.<\/p>\n

If you connect the printer first, Windows may automatically assign its own driver, and that often interferes with the correct Samsung SCX-4300 installation.<\/p>\n

If you already tried to install the driver before, first remove the old printer and the old driver from the system, and only then start the installation again.<\/p>\n

Method 1. Main option: install the official SCX-4300_Print.exe driver<\/h2>\n

Step 1. Prepare the printer and the computer<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Close Word, your PDF viewer, and other programs.<\/li>\n
  2. Turn the printer off with the power button.<\/li>\n
  3. Disconnect the printer USB cable from the computer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step 2. Remove the old printer from Windows<\/h3>\n

    Windows 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Click Start<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    2. Open Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    3. Open Bluetooth & devices<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    4. Open Printers & scanners<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    5. Find Samsung SCX-4300 Series<\/strong> or another Samsung printer related to this device in the list.<\/li>\n
    6. Select it.<\/li>\n
    7. Click Remove<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    8. Confirm the removal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Windows 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Click Start<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      2. Open Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      3. Open Devices<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      4. Open Printers & scanners<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      5. Find Samsung SCX-4300 Series<\/strong> or another Samsung printer related to this device in the list.<\/li>\n
      6. Select it.<\/li>\n
      7. Click Remove device<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      8. Confirm the removal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If several similar Samsung printers are listed, remove all entries related to this device.<\/p>\n

        Step 3. Remove the old Samsung driver from the system<\/h3>\n

        Windows 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Open Start<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        2. Open Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        3. Go to Bluetooth & devices<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
        4. Open Printers & scanners<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

            \n
          1. Open Start<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

          5. Click Printer server properties<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The next steps are the same in Windows 10 and Windows 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Open the Drivers<\/strong> tab.<\/li>\n
            2. Find the installed Samsung driver related to the SCX-4300.<\/li>\n
            3. If the list contains Samsung Universal Print Driver<\/strong> or PCL6 Driver for Universal Print<\/strong>, remove that too.<\/li>\n
            4. Select the driver.<\/li>\n
            5. Click Remove…<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            6. If you are asked to choose, select Remove driver and driver package<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
            7. Click OK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              If the driver does not uninstall, first cancel all jobs in the print queue and then try again.<\/p>\n

              Step 4. Restart the computer<\/h3>\n

              After the restart, do not connect the printer by USB until you launch the driver installation.<\/p>\n

              Step 5. Run SCX-4300_Print.exe<\/h3>\n
                \n
              1. Find the file SCX-4300_Print.exe<\/code>.<\/li>\n
              2. Right-click it.<\/li>\n
              3. Select Run as administrator<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
              4. If Windows asks for permission, click Yes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
              5. If the installer asks you to choose an installation type, select the standard installation option.<\/li>\n
              6. Click Next ><\/strong> through the setup steps.<\/li>\n
              7. When the installer asks you to connect the printer:\n
                  \n
                1. connect the USB cable to the computer;<\/li>\n
                2. turn the printer on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
                3. If a Found New Hardware Wizard<\/strong> window or a new device message appears, click Cancel<\/strong> and continue the installation.<\/li>\n
                4. Wait for the installation to finish.<\/li>\n
                5. Click Finish<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Step 6. Check whether the printer appeared<\/h3>\n

                  Windows 11<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Open Start<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                  2. Open Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                  3. Open Bluetooth & devices<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                  4. Open Printers & scanners<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                  5. Find Samsung SCX-4300 Series<\/strong> in the list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Windows 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Open Start<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                    2. Open Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                    3. Open Devices<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                    4. Open Printers & scanners<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
                    5. Find Samsung SCX-4300 Series<\/strong> in the list.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      If the printer appears, open Printer properties<\/strong> and click Print Test Page<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                      If installation through SCX-4300_Print.exe did not help<\/h2>\n

                      Move to the next method if:<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. the installation finished, but the printer did not appear;<\/li>\n
                      2. the printer appeared, but it does not print;<\/li>\n
                      3. print jobs disappear from the queue;<\/li>\n
                      4. Samsung Universal Print Driver was installed earlier;<\/li>\n
                      5. the printer stopped printing after a Windows update.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        Method 2. Backup option: manual driver installation through INF<\/h2>\n

                        This method is useful if the normal installation did not help. Inside the driver package there is an INF file that can be used to add the correct printer driver manually.<\/p>\n

                        Step 1. Extract the driver<\/h3>\n
                          \n
                        1. Create a separate folder, for example on the Desktop.<\/li>\n
                        2. Extract SCX-4300_Print.exe<\/code> into that folder.<\/li>\n
                        3. If your normal archive tool shows an error, use 7-Zip.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Step 2. Find the sse1m.inf file<\/h3>\n

                          For 64-bit Windows<\/strong>, open this folder:<\/p>\n

                          SCX-4300_Print\\Printer\\SPL\\WINXP_VISTA_64<\/code><\/p>\n

                          Find the file sse1m.inf<\/code> there.<\/p>\n

                          \"Find<\/p>\n

                          For 32-bit Windows<\/strong>, open this folder:<\/p>\n

                          SCX-4300_Print\\Printer\\SPL\\WINXP_2000_VISTA_32<\/code><\/p>\n

                          Find the file sse1m.inf<\/code> there as well.<\/p>\n

                          If file extensions are hidden, look for a file named sse1m<\/code>.<\/p>\n

                          Step 3. Add the printer manually through Have Disk…<\/h3>\n
