According to the info that I got from EPSON the CX6600 has product ID
0x0805.  So that's what iscan is using.  The epkowa and epson backends
don't know any device with product ID 0x0813 so they ignore it (to be
on the safe side).

You can add

  usb 0x04b8 0x0813

to your epkowa.conf (or epson.conf) to force the backend to recognise
it, but be advised that this is completely untested.  See also the
comments in epkowa.conf.

Mind sending me the output of

  lsusb -v -d 04b8:0813

off-list.

Hope this helps,
