As this is the only list for SANE, it's ok to ask all SANE-related
questions here.

I don't know this scanner and the epson backend but ...

... there is something wrong here. Driver=(none) means, the Linux scanner
driver has NOT detected the scanner. Maybe try to "rmmod scanner" and
"modprobe scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x010c" again. Any messages in
syslog?

Don't do this. All the SCSI backends will try to access your scanner
with SCSI commands.
