For general information how to set up a scanner manually, see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners_from_SUSE_LINUX_9.2
in particular read about the dll meta-backend and the section
about "Trouble-Shooting (Debugging)".

To get (a lot of) debug messages use
----------------------------------------------------------------------
export SANE_DEBUG_DLL=4
export SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=128
export SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI=255
scanimage -L 2>&1 | tee /tmp/scanimage.log
----------------------------------------------------------------------
and inspect /tmp/scanimage.log for suspicious messages.
See "man sane-dll", "man sane-epson", "man sane-scsi".
