The epkowa driver supports this scanner, but uses a precompiled binary module which is only availible for x86, IIRC. Unfortunately, this machine seems to use a different protocol from other Epson machines, and is not supported by epson or epson2 drivers. The epjitsu driver could perhaps be

The syscall interface is how applications request kernel services. It is not a general mechanism for the kernel to start userspace applications. HAL and udev are mechanisms intended to give the kernel a flexible way to invoke userspace applications when events such as hardware device connection
