After changing permissions on /dev/sg7 I got this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo nautilus

  # sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the

found SCSI processor "EPSON GT-X900 1.05" at /dev/sg7

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scanimage -L
device `v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 virtual device
device `epson:/dev/sg7' is a Epson GT-X900 flatbed scanner
device `epkowa:/dev/sg7' is a Epson Perfection V700/V750 flatbed scanner

So sane substituted the hauppage for the scanner in Xsane.  Strange.  It
is a PCI card which has Composite, S-video, and audio RCA inputs,
certainly not Firewire or SCSI.

Is this (copied from the above lines) something you are interested in?

Thanks for your time.
