No kind of expert on anything, but I fixed a similar problem by installing Epson's own package. iscan. Just went in and then sane worked fine. This was Mandriva and also Suse, for a 1640. And another epson at my little charity. Without iscan Xsane wouldn't work, with it it went perfectly.

That's where I started from, iscan said it couldn't see a scanner.

Digging further xsane *can* see my scanner, this is getting silly! Maybe running sane-troubleshoot has kicked something into life somewhere. No, scanimage still claims that I have no Sane devices whereas xsane recognises both my HP all-in-one and the Epson.
