I final have the scanner working but I need to ask a couple of questions.

SuSe is using udev and I found the usb and its info in /sys/ .

I got it working by disabling epkowa in the dll.conf file and enabling epson. 
sane-find-scanner  Scanimage -L reported:

linux:/home/finemanruss # sane-find-scanner

  # No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure 
that
  # you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI adapter.

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0813 [USB2.0 MFP]) at 
libusb:001:002
  # Your USB scanner was (probably) detected. It may or may not be supported 
by
  # SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.

  # Not checking for parallel port scanners.

  # Most Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary ports
  # can't be detected by this program.
linux:/home/finemanruss # scanimage -L
device `epson:libusb:001:002' is a Epson Unknown model flatbed scanner

I added the correct vendor ID: 0x04b8 and product ID: 0x0813 to 
libsane.usermap but it still reports Unknown model. 

I don't care if Iscan works, should I use iscan-free instead of iscan 
1.15.0.2-4.1 and is sane rpm -q sane 
sane-1.0.15-20.1 OK. 

Should I get sane 1.0.16 Also what do i need to do  to make this a unknown 
device?

The scanner does scan with xsane and koola. 

Again thanks for all your help. I will try to help with the project as soon as 
I learn more.

  Do you know about
  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=127524
 
  Try if you can scan after
  rmmod usblp
  which will make printing impossible.

See
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=127524#c17
Try if you can scan with the original Suse Linux 10.0 sane and iscan
packages after
rmmod usblp
rmmod usb-storage

Probably it doesn't help to only install new package versions.
You must watch the messages in /var/log/messages which show you
which kernel module is in conflict with SANE in your particular case,
see the initial comment in
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=127524
and comment #17
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=127524#c17


Alternatively install the new packages

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/jsmeix/unsupported/sane/10.0/RPMS/
sane-1.0.15-20.1.i586.ignore-EBUSY-from-USB.rpm

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/jsmeix/unsupported/iscan/10.0/RPMS/
iscan-1.15.0.2-4.1.i586.ignore-EBUSY-from-USB.rpm

and try if scanning works out-of-the-box
and if not, try if scanning works after rmmod usb-storage
or after rmmod whatever_is_in_conflict_with_SANE.


Furthermore:
Regarding hotplug,udev,HAL,resmgr,whatever,... for scanners
and Suse Linux, see
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/10/jsmeix_scanner-setup-92.html
Basics and libusb + resmgr + PAM
and
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/09/jsmeix_scanner-setup-100.html
Change regarding the access permissions for USB scanners via resmgr

For scanner access as normal user with Suse Linux we use resmgr
in our version of libusb to grant the access.
As resmgr runs as root only resmgr must be configured to grant access
for normal users (i.e. there is no need for hotplug).
Therefore regarding scanner access with resmgr see
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2004/10/jsmeix_scanner-setup-92.html
for Suse Linux 9.1 9.2 and 9.3
and
http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2005/09/jsmeix_scanner-setup-100.html
for Suse Linux 10.0

Try if you can scan after
rmmod usblp
which will make printing impossible.

To print again you must do
modprobe usblp
and you may have to do
rccups restart
and/or you may have to do
/usr/bin/enable PRINT_QUEUE_NAME

Thanks, the link at bugzilla is the problem I'm seeing also. I'm assuming I 
can use xsane if I get the cvs mentioned. I have sane 1.0.15.20 which came 
with the 10.0 dvd. I noticed there is an unsupported sane test package on the 
Suse websites. later release. I'll try the test of removing usblp and restore 
it if the scanner works, then get the cvs. I am assuming this also applies to 
the epkowa backend or do I just configure xsane,etc. I noticed the product ID 
in the libsane.usermap and in iscan user map is wrong for this product.

sane-find-scanner. 
found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x0813 [USB2.0 MFP]) at 
libusb:001:003

this is the product ID I was using in SuSE 9.1 with epkowa backend and iscan.

Again thats for your continuing help.
