I have a "hunch" that this scanner speaks the ESC/I protocol.  Try
adding the USB device info directly to the epson.conf file but don't
blame me if that breaks your scanner.

If anyone can make a USB log from the Windows driver available I
should be able to tell whether the Perfection V700 speaks ESC/I or
not.

Hope this helps,
