Michel-Ekimia, it would be really helpful if you were able to confirm that the report you made two years ago (sorry about the delay) still affects zesty and xenial. There are live CD images you can use for this purpose.

How to reproduce : - install ubuntu 14.04 - Plug an epson scanner like the XP-405 ( 0x04b8 0x0898) - Launch Simple scan : the scanner is not recognized. WORKAROUND: Add in the /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules file: ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0898", ENV{libsane_matched}="yes" Add in the /etc/sane.d/epson2.conf file: usb 04b8 0898 usb /dev/usbscanner0 usb /dev/usb/scanner0 We should enable all those epson models to be plug n play by shipping the needed config files like we do for HP.
