The epkowa backend (part of iscan) recognises *both* product IDs as of
iscan-2.0.0.  As a matter of fact, I think it was your messages that
prompted that change ;-)

If your current iscan (and other SANE frontends) work fine now, there
is no real need to upgrade.  The only thing I can think of that could
make it worth your while is the new udev support but I believe that
SUSE 10.0 has that part already covered with their sane package for
your device.

Hope this helps,
