I just remembered I wrote a section about the network configuration for
iscan a decade or so ago.  Have a look at

  http://download.ebz.epson.net/man/linux/iscan_e.html#sec7

and see if some of that helps.

Does saned's dll load the epkowa backend?  I think you can check by
running it in standalone mode and get the dll backend to output the
debug info with

  sudo SANE_DEBUG_DLL=128 saned -d128

You are of course looking at the saned output from a saned that runs on
the machine to which your V300 is connected, right?

Hope this helps,
