Hi Pierre,

The Perfection 3170 needs a non-free plugin.  You can get it via

The epson backend does not support non-free plugins.  The epson2 backend
might but I am not sure where it looks for them.

The iscan frontend only works with the epkowa and net backends.

Did you install the non-free plugin that is needed for the Perfection

Hope this helps,
