Well, I've tried to. But guess what - I cannot make the thing misbehave
at all now !

I have:

   Restored (all sets of) factory defaults on the printer;

   Uninstalled all the things in the following list (i.e. the total list
   of what I had installed), working up from the bottom (and
   reinstalling sane-backends-drivers-scanners and sane-backends-libs
   after taking out sane-backends-devel - but I checked the version was
   the same as it always has been); 

   (This is the list of what I had installed since it wouldn't work:

      libtool-ltdl-2.4.2-20.el7.x86_64 (was already there)
      (updated to) 2.4.2-21.el7_2.x86_64
      
      libtool-ltdl-devel-2.4.2-21.el7_2.x86_64
      atkmm-devel-2.22.7-3.el7.x86_64
      cairomm-devel-1.10.0-8.el7.x86_64
      glibmm24-devel-2.42.0-1.el7.x86_64
      gtkmm24-devel-2.24.2-8.el7.x86_64
      libsigc++20-devel-2.3.1-4.el7.x86_64
      pangomm-devel-2.34.0-3.el7.x86_64   
      sane-backends-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64
      sane-backends-devel-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64
      sane-backends-drivers-cameras-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64
      sane-backends-drivers-scanners-1.0.24-9.el7.x86_64
      imagescan-3.20.0-1epson4centos7.x86_64.rpm
      imagescan-plugin-ocr-engine-1.0.0-1epson4centos7.x86_64.rpm
      imagescan-plugin-networkscan-1.1.0-1epson4centos7.x86_64.rpm )

   Removed the net line from epson2.conf, and added a usb line in its
   place with the same numbers as before;

   Simultaneously powered down both computer and printer/scanner;

   Unplugged the network cable from the printer and plugged in a USB
   cable instead.

And it just will not misbehave !

Alternatively, it may be because the good software has made some change
in settings to the scanner which aren't reverted by "restore factory
defaults". 

Any ideas on what's going on ?

Roger.
