Per,
the problem is very likely caused by a USB timeout. The USB
scanner driver does not wait long enough for data - or the
EPSON scanners are a little to slow to send the first byte
of data after a "Start scan" command.
You can fix this yourself if you are willing to recompile your
kernel: Edit the file linux/driver/usb/scanner.h and look for
a line that starts with
#define RD_NAK_TIMEOUT (10*HZ)
Change the 10 to 20 and everything should work.
