I haven't seen any report yet.

There has been some discusiion about that topic and the ChangeLog of
our development version reads:

2003-10-07  Oliver Schwartz <Oliver.Schwartz@gmx.de>
	    * backend/snapscan.h backend/snapscan-scsi.c
	      Updates for Epson Perfection 1670

2003-10-07  Oliver Schwartz <Oliver.Schwartz@gmx.de>
	    * backend/snapscan.h backend/snapscan.c backend/snapscan-option.c
	      Initial support for Epson Perfection 1670, minor bugfix
	        (#300247)


So I propose you get a development snapshot from
http://www.sane-project.org/snapshots/ and try. It may be necessary to
set up things manually. I haven't checked that.

Oliver: Does the scanner already work? If yes, can you add an entry
for that scanner to the snapscan.desc file?

I'm getting quite some questions about that scanner since some days.

Bye,
