Sorry for the delay. I modified a file
"/lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules" to add my specific scanner i.d.
code near the bottom of the Epson listings because it did not include my
model. I added the line as follows:
# Epson Perfection 3170 | Epson Perfection 3170
ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0116", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" .
I then saved the file, re-attached my scanner to the usb port, turned it on and
it immediately recognized it and I was able to scan in Simple-Scan and Xsane
programs.

Title:
Epson Perfection 3170 Scanner not detected
Status in “simple-scan” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
"No device detected" in the following: Simple-Scan, Xsane and IScan.
Installed pkgs downloaded fron Epson-Fujitsu site as follows:
iscan-plugin-gt-9400-1.0.0-1.c2.i386.rpm
iscan-2.10.0-1.c2.i386.rpm
Converted each to deb pkg using alien. Installed both successfully and all
downloaded files seem to be in the correct folders. Modified both epson2.conf
and epkowa.conf with line usb 0x4b8 0x0116 and saved. Checked /sane.d/dll.conf
to see if new library file installed epkowa.conf. It was added.
Still no scanner devices detected in the three programs. Scanner is on and
attached to usb. Works in WinXP.
Thank you.
