Seems you are running sane on OS/2

Which version of sane do you use?

This probably means you don't have the
related epson.conf at the right place.

place the following 2 lines into a file called epson.conf
--- cut ---
scsi EPSON
b0t2l0
--- cut ---

You probably won't need the second line at least if you
are running a newer version of sane, but if it's an older version
I'm not shure.

Then either place this epson.conf file into the same 
directory as scanimage.exe
or better:
create a directory named
x:\HOME\.sane
(replace x with your real drive-letter)
and place the epson.conf into this directory
and add

SET SANE_CONFIG_DIR=x:\HOME\.sane

to your config.sys and reboot.

Your setup is correct if
 scanimage -L
lists your scanner
