It is over a year ago, but maybe nevertheless useful for anyone. To get another Epson scanner running, I had to add the path to the firmware in file /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf. In my case, the firmware file was called esfw41.bin. It was located at /usr/share/iscan, where it was placed by package iscan-plugin-gt-f500 from http://www.avasys.jp/english. (Of course, for different models the firmware file will be different.)
