There was a package I pulled from the Epson site, or a link thereon, and 
as I recall it had kernel modules or cups modules, or similar not very 
portable stuff. However, it dropped in and worked on an FC6 machine, and 
nothing newer. You might poke around and see if there is something 
newer, and also try iscan, I never got sane working, or missed it, iscan 
does what I need.

If all else fails, and you have the hardware, you might do a minimal FC6 
install with the package in a KVM machine, and connect the USB to that. 
Slightly complex, but as a device controller it really beats using 
Windows! ;-)
