Only the epson backend is included in sane-backends.  The epkowa
backend comes with "Image Scan! for Linux" which is available for
download at:

  http://www.epkowa.co.jp/english/linux_e/index.html

The backend should be usable with other frontends as well, but the
iscan frontend makes certain assumptions about the backend is it
talking to that may not hold for other backends.  That is, it only
works with the epkowa backend (in all likelihood).
