Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libsane

The scanner section of the Epson sx200 and SX205 all-in-one
printer/copier/scanner is not automatically recognised in either 9.04 or
the latest update to 9,10.

The scanner can be made to work by following instructions by Kaho, written on 
31/12/08 on page:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=932547&highlight=sx200&page=2

Actions to repeat bug:
Fresh install of 9.04 or 9.10. 
Plug multifiunction device into Ubuntu. Ubuntu recognises printer section 
automatically.
Go into Applications->Graphics->Xsane Image scanning program
Note dialog "No devices available". 

Expected results: Plug device into Ubuntu. Use Xsane straight away
without modifying config.

Diagnostics:
enter sane-find-scanner as user at command prompt. note line:
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x0849) at libusb:001:003

type "scanimage -L" at command prompt. returns
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different...

To get scanner working, Follow series of commands by Kaho on ubuntuforums (as 
noted above)
add these lines to /etc/sane.d/epson.conf

usb 0x4b8 0x849
usb /dev/usbscanner0
usb /dev/usb/scanner0

and add these lines to /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules
# Epson Stylus SX200
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0849", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"

Reboot machine. 
Go into Applications->Graphics->Xsane Image scanning program
Note scanner works.
