I apologize for the bug mail spam that you may have received due to my actions. I was recently working on bug 521827 when I found this report that seemed to describe the same behavior. I also found many other similar bugs about different Epson scanner models, but they are all related to the same package. I have marked them as duplicates in order to make this easier for any SANE developers who choose to look at this report.
