So I edited /etc/sane.d/dll.conf,to add epkowa (it wasn't listed), and comment epson2; epson was already commented.The page SANE: External Backends (Drivers) mentions that the 3170 is supported by epkowa ("requires DFSG non-free iscan-plugin-gt-9400 overseas version of the GT-9400UF").
So I tried installing iscan-plugin-gt-9400.It is only available as an rpm, not deb.Looking for related info, I found in [Solved] Successful Image Scan Installation for EPSON USB Scanner and Epson Perfection 3170 Photo Scanner (aka GT-9400) on Ubuntu Feisty that going through the conversion rpm -> deb and installing them (two packages, actually) is the only way to make the 3170 work.I am not certain this changed from the time of those posts, but I decided trying.
Just like others I could get Ubuntu 20.04 to find my scanner (in my case an Epson V370 connected via USB) after installing the Epson Imagescan drivers, but not to actually connect to to the scanner and use it.
I had the very same problem with a slightly different Epson 3490: after upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 it was detected but not scanning. Eventually the solution turned out to be very simple - see below.
Download the Linux driver package for your scanner from the official Epson support page. In my case I was searching for Epson 3490 Linux driver. The package was named iscan-plugin-gt-f520-1.0.0-1.c2.i386.rpm. Before downloading the licence conditions had to be accepted.
I have a NOS Epson Perfection 4870 Photo scanner that everyone says should work with OS Monterey. Epson has the latest driver, ICA Scanner Driver v5.8.12 for Image Capture, listed as working with Mac OS 12.X.
How do you have the 4870 connected to your Mac? It's an old scanner, uses USB1.1/2.0 or Firewire. And if you have it connected to a USB hub, try connecting it directly to your Mac. It also wouldn't hurt to shut down & restart your Mac
Epson has only the ICA driver 5.8.12 available for the 4870 on Catalina & later. The Epson 4870 scanner driver & utility were last available on Mojave, which means they were 32-bit. Your "other Epson software list with newer scanners" is unlikely to work with this scanner even if they are 64-bit.
Since I'm going to be doing 4x5 scanning - a slow process - the USB connection is okay. Just frosted that Epson says its software will run with OS 12 - but they are wrong. In fact, they even suggest getting VuScan for Macs.
The messages seem to only refer to the printer and not the scanner. I don't like just recommending installing random software in Linux as it generally has all you need. However, you could try Opens a new window and install th right one for your needs. I see that someone here recommends it -driver-for-epson-eco-tank-et-2710-needed Opens a new window
Epson do supply Linux drivers for scanning Opens a new window which may work for you if the built in scan programme doesn't work. You download it extract it as it is likely compressed. There will be instructions with it such as ./install.sh which will install the Epson software.
Very puzzled that you are having trouble. Boot up the PC without the printer scanner connected and then in a terminal rune "sudo dmesg" without the quotes. Plug the printer scanner in and switch on and then run "sudo dmesg" again and report what the additional lines are. It should have lines about the printer scanner and if it is recognised. To explain dmesg is the list of discoveries and actions taken when the Linux OS starts up.
Workaround: I had the bright idea of creating a USB boot disk for Windows, thinking that it would run from the boot disk and I would scan from that, however Windows only has the option to Install, not run, and nothing else.

Scanner manufacturers often provide their own scanning software that usually works well with their scanners. However, this software is often limited in what it can do without a driver from the manufacturer installed on your system.
VueScan solves the problem of Image Capture, vendor software, and free software. It works with every scanner under Windows, Linux and macOS. We reverse engineer drivers so you can keep using your scanner without having to buy new software every time a new model comes out.
The first step is to identify the most important scanner models and reverse engineer how the driver works with the original software. We do this by listening to customer requests to see which models we need to prioritize. We also identify which scanners are sold the most and which ones are being searched for the most.
The next step is to use the software the comes with the scanner on an older operating system. We listen to how the software communicates with the scanner and replicate the protocol within our software. This gives us a deep understanding of how the scanner produces images, and allows us to create a VueScan driver that captures all of this information.
My scanner, though perfectly good mechanically, had been orphaned heading into Windows 7. VueScan brought it back into use, and the new version for Windows 10 carried that on. The application is excellent.
On WC6515, although I can printer just fine with Fedora35 on this WC6515, I would like to scan directly from my WC6515 to my Fedora35. In order to do so, this printer has three options below. Which of these three do you advice? And how would you setup a scanner the proper way?
As my Xerox WorkCentre 6515 do respond to a printer job, it does not so for a scanner job. Therefore, the communication between my F36 and WC6515 is just to print, nothing else. Which i find pitty of course. Thus I do think that this is not a Wayland issue, as you suggest, but rather a PPD issue.

EPSON Scan 2 directly controls all of the features of your EPSON scanner. With this software you can scan images in color, grayscale, or black and white and obtain professional quality results. This program is the standard cross-platform interface between your scanner and most applications.
Epson Scan 2 allows you to scan your document and save scanned files in PDF format on your computer. Epson Scan 2 functions as a scanner driver that allows you to control the scanner. You can adjust the size, resolution, brightness, contrast, and quality of the scanned image. You can also start this application from a TWAIN-compliant scanning application.
I have VueScan and it works great, had old Canon scanner, then I and bought a used Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner and VueScan works with it, it even scans both sides of the paper in one pass. The only problem is the scanner won't work on USB3 connections, I don't know if it's a problem with the program or the scanner.
Document scanning functionality is a critical component for a software developer building a website, content management system, or office automation system. There are several different scanning drivers in the market:
Naturally, you may be confused as to what is the best solution for you. TWAIN, WIA, ISIS and SANE, are all scanning drivers that support acquiring physical images from scanners and storing the digital images on a computer. Although they are trying to achieve the same task basically, a popularity search shows that TWAIN is leading the game.
TWAIN is scanning protocol that was initially used for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems, and it added Linux/Unix support since version 2.0. The first release was in 1992. It was designed as an interface between image processing software and scanners or digital cameras.
TWAIN is the most commonly used protocol and the standard in document scanners. Especially, these scanner vendors are members of the TWAIN working group: Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Kodak Alaris, Epson America, HP, and Visioneer.
The Source Manager Interface provided by TWAIN allows your application to control data sources, such as scanners and digital cameras, and acquire images, as shown in the figure below.
The TWAIN standard is now evolving to the next generation, called TWAIN direct. The TWAIN working group, that Dynamsoft is an associate of, claims that with TWAIN direct vendor specific drivers will no longer be needed. The application will be able to communicate directly with scanning devices. The best of TWAIN direct is still to come.
There are other differences between TWAIN and WIA. TWAIN has three transfer modes (native, memory, file) while WIA has only two (memory, file). TWAIN enables device vendors to create a customized user interface for each driver. WIA uses a simplified user interface for all devices, based on a scripting object model. If you only need basic scanning functions, WIA is enough. If you need to use more sophisticated features of a scanner, such as different options for each page when scanning in duplex mode, TWAIN should be your choice.
