The epson backend recognized your scanner OK, reset it (ESC-@) and
then queries the scanner for its ID (ESC-I).  Looks like it isn't
getting an answer, so I'd suggest you look what is happening in the
USB layer.

You can see what's going on by setting the SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB
environment variable to something sensible.  IIRC, a value of 5 to 10
should be more or less sensible.

Hope this helps,
