The supported devices link you provided is for "sane-backends-1.0.16".
I'm on 1.0.23, so I was believing the following was true now.

Perfection 4180 PHOTO USB 0x04b8/0x0118 Unsupported
*supported by the epkowa backend plus non-free interpreter***
Hence my attempt with the epkowa backend.
Part of my attempts to get this working were to install the Epson iscan
package. I assumed that was the non-free interpreter mentioned above.
The debug output I listed in the post I included the link to was from
running iscan. I was hoping that might give someone on this mailing
list an idea of what was wrong.
I have seen posts on various boards that people have gotten this scanner
to work with SANE. And I am (or have tried) doing what they mention
they did. So far, the only difference in environments I can figure out
is that those folks are on 32 bit Linux and I'm running 64 bit. Not
sure that is the problem though.
Thanks Roger.

Hi sane-devels,
I was hoping someone here could help out with my continuing issue of not
being able to use my Espon 4180 with SANE. The original issue with all
the details is here:

I hadn't gotten any replies so thought I would re-ask.
Thanks in advance.

Unsupported. Doesn't speak ESC/I. Closely related to the GT-9400. It will be
supported by epkowa backeend in future. unsupported

Have you tried the Linux IScan?
Post number #8 at the following thread describes the procedures.

(This is why I purchased a Canon CanoScan 9000F MarkII scanner, having native
Linux Sane support, including working support with the infrared scanning. No
funny closed source stuff, like iscan's proprietary stuff.)
