Huh?  The epkowa backend lists it as supported at
  http://sane.alioth.debian.org/lists/sane-backends-external.html#S-EPKOWA
and in the git repository

http://git.debian.org/?p=sane/sane-backends.git;a=blob;f=doc/descriptions-external/epkowa.desc;h=eb92e21ae7db707354c75af82df6fcd49c6cef91;hb=HEAD

You may also want to double check that you are a member of the scanner
group, although the fact that you can use your other USB scanner would
indicate that this is the case.  You can do so with the `groups` command
or by looking in the /etc/group file.

Hope this helps,
