This model will be supported by the upcoming 2.10.0 release of iscan.

That does not always mean much.

The epson backend seems to have trouble with a number of all-in-one
devices, AFAIK.  I have taken a look at it in the past, comparing to
the epkowa backend (part of iscan), but couldn't quite put my finger
on it.
FWIW, you can use the epkowa backend just fine with scanimage and
xsane.

Hope this helps,
