This is not a log file, it's only the output from libusb.

If this happens with your scanner, it looks like some other program or
kernel driver keeps it open.

A normal logfile starts like this:
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of sanei_usb to 255.
[sanei_usb] sanei_usb_init: Looking for kernel scanner devices
[sanei_usb] sanei_usb_init: couldn't open /dev/usb/scanner0: No such device
[...]
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of epson to 255.
[epson] sane_init: sane-backends 1.0.17-cvs
[sanei_debug] Setting debug level of sanei_usb to 255.
[sanei_usb] sanei_usb_init: Looking for kernel scanner devices
[...]

If you don't get any debug messages this usually means that SANE is
not properly installed and the epson backend is not laoded at all.
Cehcing with "SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255" may show what's wrong. On the other
hand I'm surprised about the libusb debug messages in this case.

Bye,
