[sane-devel] Epson Perfection 3170 on 64 bit

[Ingo Müller]

Hey everyone!

I just got a response from Epson. The Perfection 3170 driver for Linux
is not maintained anymore. There is no 64bit version, neither are their
plans for one. The suggested solution is to set up a 32bit environment
inside the 64bit system and use the 32bit drivers. What a shame...
