From 13.04 (server) I'm trying to install the Samsung Unified Printer Driver as specified by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersSamsung which has a dead link. In any event, the driver is on the Samsung webpage.
See:
https://askubuntu.com/a/170895/45156
However, I keep getting an error that SANE is missing when I execute the install.sh script for the Samsung driver.
However, I seem to have SANE:

There's no way to get this working through apt? For 12.04, I don't recall doing this. It just worked. However, I'm now running a "server" version (smaller download for a clean install) so I'm thinking that it's missing packages, and that there's a meta package to pull all this in. I don't recall downloading from Samsung before.
In fact, this printer, and that it was "auto-magically" detected by Ubuntu, back in 11.x, was a factor in choosing Ubuntu.
here's a screenshot from another attempt:
