For me, worked:
1.- install libsane-extras (using sudo aptitude install libsane-extras)
and sane-utils (using sudo aptitude install sane-utils, in super user
mode, that is typing "sudo su" in a terminal).
2.- Then typing "sane-find-scanner" and look for a line like this "found
USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x082e [USB2.0 MFP(Hi-
Speed)]) at libusb:002:008" so the scanner is there.
3.- Add the line
# Epson CX-5900
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04b8", SYSFS{idProduct}=="082e", MODE="664", GROUP="scanner"
** NOTE THAT THE SYSFS{idVendor} AND SYSFS{idProduct} MAY VARY DEPENDING
ON YOUR CONFIGURATION **
to the file /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules
4.- restart
5.- Then add "usb 0×04b8 0×082e" to the file /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
where 0x04b8 are the SYSFS{idVendor} value and 0×082e the
SYSFS{idProduct} value.
6.- Restart. (necessary? may not).
7.- Launching xsane.
done!...for me.
