I finally got my epson scanner working. The answer was in a french document.
In english the steps are: 1. Place the scanner distribution disk in the dvd drive. 2. Open a terminal and execute the folowing commands: cd /tmp mkdir dossier_cab cd dossier_cab cp /cdrom/ESCAN/ModUsd.cab . cabextract ModUsd.cab 3. Move the correct file to the erc/sane.d directory sudo cp Esfw52.bin /etc/sane.d 4. Modify the snapscan.conf file sudo gedit /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf 5. Replace the line firmware /path/to/your/firmware/file.bin with: firmware /etc/sane.d/Esfw52.bin The scanner now works.
