Perfection 4180     USB     unsupported

Unsupported. Doesn't speak ESC/I.  Closely related to the GT-9400. It will be 
supported by epkowa backeend in future.     unsupported

Have you tried the Linux IScan?

Post number #8 at the following thread describes the procedures.

(This is why I purchased a Canon CanoScan 9000F MarkII scanner, having native 
Linux Sane support, including working support with the infrared scanning.  No 
funny closed source stuff, like iscan's proprietary stuff.)
