Practically every Epson scanner ever made works Just Fine if you
download the evil binary-only SANE backends from Epson's site on
http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/ . (I don't know if they have a
French section, sorry.) My Epson 3490 works well with those.
How did you get it working? I tried now for hours, and it is always
the same: iscan answers that it cannot access the scanner.
sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L can see it though!

ISTR that the default iscan install puts a number of libraries in a
strange directory; /usr/local/lib/iscan/ , which is not likely to be in
/etc/ld.so.conf . Add that directory to /etc/ld.so.conf , then rerun
ldconfig. You may have to do the same thing with /usr/local/lib/sane/ .
