I also have a Samsung SCX-3200. I have been holding off on upgrading to 11.10 due to a number of bugs but when I tested Ubuntu 11.10 in VirtualBox scanning worked. This is what I did:

- I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 to a virtual drive via VirtualBox. I have not run any Updates but I don't think there are any SANE updates in any case.

- I installed the Unified Print Driver provided by Samsung. Afterwards printing worked but scanning did not.

- I modified the configuration files as described here: http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/tumblelog/post/936

- I rebooted and afterwards scanning also worked.

Sorry if I am stating the obvious, but when you were editing /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules did you ensure that you pasted the new lines after 'LABEL="libsane_usb_rules_begin"' ? Otherwise it would not work.

I find it odd that it seems to work for me but not for everybody else. Can anybody think of a reason why scanning would work in 11.10 in VirtualBox but not if installed normally?
