I successfully used my Epson flatbed scanner not that long ago but this
morning it cannot find the scanner.

I'm a member of both lp and scanner groups.

Running scanimage -L produces nothing and does not return to the shell
prompt so I kill the process.

sane-find-scanner returns:
could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error
could not fetch string descriptor: Pipe error
found USB scanner (vendor=0x2e04, product=0xc025) at libusb:001:017
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x011c [EPSON Scanner]) at 
libusb:001:019
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

/etc/sane.d/epson.conf hasn't changed.

I've used this scanner with various Slackware versions for years.

There are many threads in this issue on the Web but none has a
recommendation or solution that works here.

What should I check next?
