Some Epson scanners have a different name for different part of the
world but the software can handle only one name.
The Epson perfection 1660 photo for example is when used with XSANE 
named GT8300.


with sane-find-scanner -v -v  (as root) or with lsusb -v you can collect
more data

if you send this information to the list or fill in the form see data on
http://www.sane-project.org/contrib.html

then this can be added to the unsupported list and can speed up the
proces of getting  a working backend.
