Still pretty old, but that shouldn't matter.

/dev/usb/scanner0 is the device sane-find-scanner found?

Looks ok. Now try to find out, what's wrong:

scanimage --version (to make sure that the update was ok)

SANE_DEBUG_EPSON=255 scanimage -L

should print some debug messages. If you don't get these debug
messages, something is wrong with your SANE installation. Try

SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255 scanimage -L

in this case and try to reinstall the SANE pacakges.

If you got the epson dbg messages, show them to us :-)

Bye,
