For SCSI devices (and "SCSI-over-[firewire|parport|...] devices), sane-find-scanner simply looks for devices which identfy themself as type "scanner" and type "processor". This does not necessarily mean that a Sane backend supports that device. From the file epson.desc: :model "Perfection 2450" :comment "IEEE-1394 is not supported" :interface "USB" :status :stable Karl-Heinz can probably tell you, why the firewire interface is not supported.
