I recompiled the kernel with ISA support enabled and i20 device support 
but I still got errors like

scanimage -d epson:libusb:003:002 --test scanimage: scanning image of 
size 424x584 pixels at 1 bits/pixel
scanimage: acquiring gray frame, 1 bits/sample
scanimage: reading one scanline, 53 bytes...
FAIL Error: Error during device I/O[epson] option: fatal error

I also had tried before loading scanner.o driver and that worked when I 
used 'modprobe scanner' but I then had problems with epson printer usblp 
and hotplug could not unload the module when closing down. I now have 
printer compiled into the kernel not as a module and I did not choose 
the scanner module which it says is obsolete.
