Just saw this message. I'm having simular problems with my CX6600 All-in-one 
scanner on SuSE 10.0. It worked on 9.1. I tried the iscan 1.15 supplied with 
10.0 and the 1.17.0-c2 from the webpage. Neither works. 

sane-find-scanner reports:  found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], 
product=0x0813 [USB2.0 MFP]) at libusb:001:003
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported 
by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

I tryed changes in dll.conf and sane.d no help. I also noticed the 
iscan.usermap shows the product ID as 0x0805. 813 is what worked in 9.1. Have 
you any solutions on how ti get this working?
