There is no "epson gt-7200" backend. The GT-7200 is the Perfection 1250
(just a different name for the same scanner), which means that the
standard EPSON backend will not work.

I don't know Kooka, but I guess it cannot be blamed for you selecting
the wrong backend. :-) It's also not a problem with the EPSON backend:
This scanner is not supported by this backend.

This means that the backend did it's job: The scanner was correctly
controlled and it did deliver the image.
