Again, I noticed a few binary chars in the trace. I went through the log and it is clear that the epkowa backend has not been enabled. Not sure why but add it to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf. At the same time, disable the epson backend. It does not support your scanner and never will. For the same reason, you may want to disable other backends you don't need. It speeds up device detection (and makes for shorter debug logs ;-). The binary characters are the result of the epson backend spitting out info gleaned from input it did not expect (because it does not support the Perfection 3170). The epson2 backend does not seem to support the device either. I just checked the master branch from the git repository, it doesn't. Guess I mistook the notions about the non-free plugin in epson2.desc for a stab at support. My bad. You can comment out that backend too as far as the Perfection 3170 is concerned.
