I just did some extra testing.
1) I installed Ubuntu Karmic in a VirtualBox.
2) After that I installed the Samsung Drivers as mentioned in the initial bug description above.
3) I started the Samsung Unified Driver Configurator from the Graphics menu.
4) I made sure I disconnect the USB cable, so the Samsung is only connected to LAN
5) Next, added the LAN printer with the Samsung Configurator. This works fine. Printer is found, recognized and installed.
6) Then I choose the flatbed scanner icon in the Configurator. What do you know....... the scanner is found over LAN connection!
7) Test scan with Xsane works perfectly.

Conclusion: something was changed in Lucid compared to Karmic.....

In Karmic: when I run xsane from a terminal I see some, maybe, interesting output:

"(xsane:2191): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated"

It could be that this deprecated code in Karmic, is actually no longer accepted in Lucid but the Xsane code still contains the use of this function? And this may prevent the scanner from being found in Lucid?
