    ==================

    It also appears that Sane does not yet support this model scanner. Both
    IScan software from Epson and Sane support the 3200 model though, so
    you might want to consider your alternatives. Seems both the 3200 and
    3170 have many of the same characteristics, except for the price. ;o)
