Comment 144 for bug 1728012

Had problem with EPSON perfection 3170 photo = GT9400UF

searched for long

to display what dll are used,
use command shell export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128
then use command shell xsane
discovered that

[dll] load: searching backend `epkowa' in `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane:/usr/lib/sane'
[dll] load: trying to load `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1'
[dll] load: dlopen()ing `/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1'
[dll] init: initializing backend `epkowa'
[dll] init: backend `epkowa' is version 1.0.213

the file /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/libsane-epkowa.so.1 (273k) is different from the file included in the driver downloaded from epsion (142k)

the file downloaded from epsion was installed at /usr/lib/sane/

copied this file from /usr/lib/sane/ to /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/sane/ (renamed file 273k for safety)

now
[dll] init: backend `epkowa' is version 1.0.208

and working (for me) - probable regression between version 1.0.208 and version 1.0.213
