Setup involved one step: change file "/etc/sane.d/epson.conf" to have all lines commented out except for: usb /dev/usb/usbscanner0 I may have had to restart sane, but that was it. After that, start the scanner (give it a few seconds to initialize), and then run xsane (or xscanimage or whatever). I spins like a top now. over 3000 pages in less than two weeks.
