Welcome Jaco

I had a devil of a time getting my Epson scanner (Perfection 2450) to
work.  Turns out there was a misprint in the configuration file as
supplied with my distro.

>From a terminal window, run sane-find-scanner (that'll tell you where
the scanner is).  I'll assume your scanner is on /dev/usb/scanner0. 
Then have a look at /etc/sane.d/epson.conf

The last line of /etc/sane.d/epson.conf may read

# usb /dev/usbscanner0 

If that's the case, then comment out every other line (most of them
should be commented out already) - i.e. make sure every other line
starts with #;

delete the starting # of this line;

and insert a forward slash between "usb" and "scanner0".

The line should read

usb /dev/usb/scanner0

Make sure the permissions for /dev/usb/scanner0 are set to 777.

Sorry if I've given too much detail but as a non-geek I find it easier
to be frustrated by too little info than insulted by too much.
