Each epson scanner will require different drivers.  However you will ifnd
that when you download the twain drivers from Epson's drivers and downloads
site, the file has the capacity to install drivers for multiple Scanners.
While I don't ahve the list of scanners available, you should be easily able
to donwlaod the drivers from the site.
 
I hope this helps.

Speaking of Epson scanners, can you use the same drivers for the 1650 and
the 1660 or do they require separate and different drivers?

3170 is still on the Epson catalogue of current products.  To the best of my
knowledged it is deamed at least by Kurzweil the most viable scanner of the
current Epson lineup.

Both those scannars are on k1000's preferred list of scannars, which can be
found at

Curiously, the 3170 is not, which leads me to believe that perhaps it is
being discontinued.  Who knows.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Epsons, again.

  
Hi All, 
  
This message is along similar lines of our scanner threads of the last week.
I am getting a new scanner and am planning to get an Epson.  I've heard tell
that the Epson 3170 is the best there is for scanning books.  However, I
went to two different stores today, and there were no 3170s to be found.
Why is that?  Is this an out-of-date model?  Or is it something hard to find
cuz it is in high demand.  I worry that this is already a model of the past
so to speak.  And, as I'm buying it brand new, I'm not sure if I want a
scanner that will be on its way out very soon.   
  
So I guess my question is, is the 3170still the best out there?  Is it worth
the search to buy one>?  Where would you buy one?  And I'm not looking for
an online dealer either.   
  
The stores did have two different models of Epsons however.  The Epsons 2580
and 4180.  Anyone had any experience with either of those?  Are they
something worth getting, or is the 3170 still the better buy?  My basic
thinking would be that the newest ones are the better ones, but I know that
this is not always the case.  So I thought I'd write and see what you guys
think.  I use Kursweil, and I need to be sure that the scanner will work
with that as well.  I currently use a Cannon scanner, which I like, but it
is rather slow.  That's why I've been looking at the Epsons lately.  So
guys, any feedback is appreciated.   
  
Thanks in advance! 
  
Allison H.
