Marcin,

please check, if the SG driver is loaded and if you have correct SG 
device files (/dev/sg*).

If the driver is loaded and the device files exist and if they have the 
correct major numbers (SG device files should have the type "char 
device"; the major number should be 21), please set additionally to 
SANE_DEBUG_EPSON the environment variable SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_SCSI to 255 
and show us the the output.
