I just plugged in my Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner. This is the second scanner that doesn't 'Just work' in Linux. Two in one week! :-O I just can't believe it.
It shows up in sane-find-scanner for root (not for my user) and does not show in scanimage -L or sudo scanimage -L
sudo sane-find-scanner
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0116 [EPSON Scanner]) at libusb:001:005

Hello: This indicates that the driver is not found. This scanner requires proprietary driver/plugin. Search for all Epson scanner drivers here: http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/search/01/search/searchModule Searching for linux and perfection 3170 gives this: Download Scanner Driver for gcc 3.4 or later http://download.ebz.epson.net/dsc/du/02/DriverDownloadInfo.do?LG2=EN&CN2=&DSCMI=15831&DSCCHK=dc314c7561f36b1e0796b28c20038ddc9fc14ff3 It seems it's 32 bit only, you probably need sane-backends 32bit packages too. sane version also may matter. It shouldn't be the too recent. It seems I read that 1.0.27 may not work with older sane drivers. Make sure you don't have a custom built sane somewhere in the system which competes with official sane package.
