Printer works fine with Ubuntu Karmic without additional driver. Scan function is the
problem and always was the nuisance. The print driver on the CD with the device worked,
but scanning didn't until we worked with the downloaded one. There were, however, lots of
permission, ownership and similar issues to fix manually. openprinting generally is fairly
quiet about these extra functions, but indeed I had looked there.

When we got the SCX 4521F Multifunction printer/fax/scanner there was
a Linux driver on CD. Didn't work. But one off the Samsung site did
(thanks to Dmitri and Nataliya Korovkin's help). But now the Samsung
site has not Linux files.
Have you tried the OpenPrinting forums?
