François,

I've got a vaguely similar problem with my Epson 
Perfection 2450. See bug number 186766 for the work around I discovered.

Would it be of any use to you to try the same 
work around with your system? Depends upon 
whether or not you've got an old PC or USB card 
available that has USB1.1 only, or a motherboard 
like mine that lets you set the USB version in the BIOS.

Please let me know if you get anywhere with this, 
and add to the bug report if it helps you at all.
