This seems to have solved my problem too. I changed my epson.conf file to just say "usb" instead of "usb /dev/usb/scanner0" and now, finally, it works. I do hope the SANE documentation writers get around to adding that little tidbit of info SOMEWHERE, I was tearing my hair out and rebooting back to 2.4 to use my scanner. Also, now that usb-scanner.ko is gone, a paragraph of help in the http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt file would be a great thing as well.
