  Just to clarify, xsane is only the frontend, the hardware level
  support is in the SANE backends (libraries).

  Does it work with scanimage without the "-d epson:/dev/usbscanner0"?
  Does it work with xscanimage?

  If everything works, this should be done automatically. However, you
  may specify the device with xsane: xsane epson:/dev/usbscanner0 (see
  man page for details).

  You may get more details about the source of the problem with
  SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=255 SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 xsane

  If you can't find out what's up here, please send the relevant output
  of the command above.

  Bye,
  Henning
