I can't use it with xsane :(
I does not recognize any scanners...

problems.

The file did not exist under /etc/hotplug/usb, so i created it, and now 
it detects the scanner when i power it on.. :)
but xsane still does not find the scanner. Heres some output that can be 
useful for you:

[root@localhost root]# sane-find-scanner

 # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make 
sure that
 # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0116 [EPSON 
Scanner]) at libusb:001:003
 # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be 
supported by
 # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

 # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

 # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
 # can't be detected by this program.
[root@localhost root]# scanimage -L

No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

thanks.
