Scanning to your pc with the Samsung clx-3170/3175 series can be a pain in the ass, so here is the ultimate solution to get it work under any version of windows (xp/vista/7).
As the scan driver is not always easy to find for some reason I’ve uploaded it.
Start with downloading the right driver : scan2pc.exe
[Filesonic Download]
[Hotfile Download]
(ignore the stupid message, you find the link at the bottom of the page, these are the original clean drivers from Samsung’s website)
And follow the steps to create a connection to your scan <> pc:
1. Locate the scan2pc.exe program in
C:\Windows\twain_32\Samsung\CLX3170
2. Right-click on the file and select “properties” from the menu
3. Select the “Compatibility tab”.
4. Set compatibility to windows xp (sp2).
5. Check “Run as Administrator” at the bottom
6. Then add scan2pc.exe to your firewall so the printer can access this program.
7. If needed reboot your pc and light the printer up and scan to your pc.

I also had to start Sscan2io.exe in the same dir as scan2pc.exe
an had to choose a correct directory. (Windows 7)
Thanks for the information
This Trick did it for me as well, THX
