  The Epson Perfection 1200U and 636U are already working.
  What we should do is come up with a standard way of configuration
  for USB devices. I guess some extension to the sanei library to
  suppor USB would not be a bad idea (like for SCSI and PIO).
  So far I'm looking for a line "usb /dev/usbscanner" in epson.conf.
  A better way would be to have just a line "USB" or similar and then
  let the library scan the USB bus for a scanner device (unfortunately
  all scanners so far need to be supported on a case by case basis).
