Specifically I was replacing an Acer ScanPrisa 640UT. I was disappointed to discover that the Epson 1670 appears to b e a badge engineered product. At the least it is based on the same family of chipset as the Acer 640UT I've come to dislike :( Anyhow, to answer your queries: Yes it does work on Linux. Use the Sane SnapScan backend. This is rated as having "Basic" functionality (as compared to "Good" or "Complete") for the 1670. You'll need Sane 1.0.13 or above. Your Linux distribution (Debian, Suse, Slackware, et al.) should carry this by now. apt-get is my friend.
