This usually is a sign for communication problems with the scanner. Are you using the parallel port adapter that came with the scanner?
You can create a log file to see if the scanner is communicating at all by executing the following commands: export SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=128 /usr/local/bin/scanimage -L > /tmp/scan.log 2>&1 Please send the log file /tmp/scan.log to me.
