Then your original log is not correct. These lines are from the debug=20
output that you provided:

[epson] sane_init, ># SCSI scanner:<
[epson] sane_init, >#scsi EPSON<
[epson] sane_init, >scsi /dev/scanner<


This is the output from grep that you posted:

[fbriere] toroia:~ $ grep -v '^#' /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
scsi EPSON


As you can see, this line is commented out in the config file (at least=20=

according to the debug output).

Make sure that you have the line "scsi EPSON" in the config file that's=20=

used by Sane.
