  Steven,

  please read the information on the following pages:
  http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane/suse71.html
  http://www.freecolormanagement.com/sane

  To find out what exactly goes wrong, please turn on debugging for
  the EPSON backend:

  export SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=128
  xsane > /tmp/scan.log 2>&1

  Please email the log file to my email address _AND NOT TO THE LIST_ -
  my address is khk@khk.net
