By some misstake, I was sent a model 2480 when I orderd a model 1660.
The model 2480 does not work (but I realize it is not listed as a
supported model.)
Here is some of the debug output it was basically identical for both
epson and epkowa. I used the iscan download from the epkowa website.
[root@pion gilman]# iscan

In the epson.conf file I added the vendor/product line
usb 0x4b8 0x121
and, aside from some trivial differences, I got additional logged
output...
[epson] attach: opening libusb:004:004

[epson] sane_get_devices()

At this point, iscan would popup a window with the message
Could not send command to scanner. Check the scanner's status.
I hope this is of some help for you. For me, I am trying to get them
to send me the model I ordered.
