yesterday gimp showed me an error when i launched iscan. today it does 
nothing and the error does not show up.
on the other hand, xsane doesn't detect me the epkowa backend... it says 
there are no devices...
i can't understand why is kooka working (but it's great it does work!!!!) :)

if i follow the procedure you describe (turning on the scanner before 
gimp) no program (including iscan) can access the scanner. it seems that 
for getting iscan and kooka working the scanner needs to powered on 
before booting the computer...

thanks for any info on the subject as i need to make a decision in few 
time :P

I had trouble installing it, but now it works with epkowa drivers.

It worries me that gimp2 cannot access the epkowa plugin.

I can still return it, but first i would like to know if there are plans
for sane to support this scanner.

thanks in advance.

  <pre wrap=""><!---->Are you sure GIMP2 won't support the epkowa drivers, I have an epson cx6600 
running with the epkowa driver and can access it from GIMP2. I do have to do 
it by logging in, starting my printer (turn 0n) then starting GIMP, it starts 
scanner about half way thru the startup. Have not tryed it from GIMP after it 
is running without the bove steps.
