in principle scanning of negatives and slides should work on a 1670 
Photo, at least it works for other snapscan models. Can you be a bit 
more specific as to how exactly it fails? Are you able to chose 
"Transparency adapter" as scanning source in xsane? Does the actual 
scan produce an image?

If Epson changed the protocol for the transparency adapter in the 1670 
there may be additional work required. Most of all I'd need a usb 
trace of a transparency scan in windows. Unfortunately I have little 
time to work on the backend right now, but if you're interested and 
willing to run some tests we may finally get it to work.
