The new EPSON Perfection 1670 is not and will not be supported by the EPSON backend. It's design seems to be similar to the Perfection 1260, which is supported by the Plustek backend. I have not seen this new scanner, so I don't know if it really falls into the same category as the Perfection 1670.
The /proc/bus/usb/devices output looks similar (at least it has an interrupt endpoint): E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 2 Ivl=256ms T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=05 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=480 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=04b8 ProdID=011f Rev= 1.07 S: Manufacturer=EPSON S: Product=EPSON Scanner C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr=100mA I: If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=ff Driver=usbscanner E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=02(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 512 Ivl=0ms E: Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=4096ms I already know of one unlucky customer who thought because the model number was similar than the 1660, it would work the same way. Karl Heinz
