That package only contains the epkowa backend proper. Unfortunately, your particular model (Perfection 3170) requires a non-free binary-only plugin to work. The plugin is available for the i386 architecture as an RPM at: http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/scan/DL1.do NOTE: the plugin only works with epkowa backend versions before 2.11.0. So I suggest you: 1) apt-get remove libsane-extras 2) alien --install --to-deb --scripts --keep-version iscan-2.10.0-1.i386.rpm 3) alien --install --to-deb --scripts --keep-version iscan-plugin-gt-9400-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm If you want Debian packages or need amd64 packages, please file contact AVASYS at: https://avasys.jp/eng/contact/inquiry/inq_form4_en.php No guarantees that they'll be able to help, but you can always ask.
