Title:
  XSane and SANE do not maintain a proper connection with many Epson
  scanners

Status in sane-backends package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sane-backends

  SANE and XSane are able to initially detect scanners listed as being
  supported here: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-epson2.5.html .
  However, when attempting to scan this connection is lost.

  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Login
  2. Connect scanner and turn it on
  3. Run 'sane-find-scanner' and it is found
  4. Attempt to use the scanner with XSane or 'scanimage'

  Expected Results:
  The software should be able to communicate with the scanner and retrieve the 
scanned image.

  Experienced Results:
  The connection to the scanner is lost by SANE.

  ==============
  WORKAROUND (for USB scanners):
  1. Run 'sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/espon2.conf'
  2. Add 'usb 0x4b8 0x<device id>'
  3. Save

  Confirmed on Lucid 10.04 alpha 2 (see bug 521827)
