That was the sense of my question (I assume that ippusbxd, sane-airscan
and sane-escl are included in the packages that Thierry said to install,
or not?)
Our suggestions actually doesn't controvert :-)
You may try sane-escl or sane-airscan, or even install and try both and
choose whatever you better like. But please replace ippusbxd with
ipp-usb in any case. ippusbxd is broken and cannot be fixed, it is
officially deprecated and replaced with ipp-usb.
Regarding Epson's imagescan, it is very unlikely that its USB version
will work together with the IPP over USB daemon running; they will not
be able to share USB interface. Basically, for devices like yours, open
source alternatives work more reliable, that proprietary drivers, but
may expose less hardware features, so don't use imagescan unless you
really need.
