I bought a Epson 3170 Photo after checking with SANE, which gave it a
good rating (as working with Linux). Now when I enter `scanimage
>x.pnm'
(without the `'), it reports "sane_start invalid argument" ?.. any
ideas. Slackware 10, downloaded the sane frontend and backend tgz's
and replaced the 10.0 sane packages.

sane-find-scanner reports 'Epson' and 'libusb:001:004'

This is how I got my 3170 working:

download driver iscan from Epson site
install iscan:
../configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
make install
add epkowa to /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
add usb 0x04b8 0x0116 to epkowa.conf
replace in /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap:
VVVV /PPPP with 04b8 / 0116 and uncomment this line.
in rc.local: insmod scanner
add scanner::10X:name to /etc/group for permission

good luck
