O.K. This sets the permissions.

You still have to change /etc/sane.d/epson.conf;

comment out:
# scsi EPSON
# usb /dev/usb/scanner0

add new line :
usb libusb:003:002

Problem here is that the :003:002 part can differ when you exchange usb
devices.

Editing should be done by a script similar to the above for the
permissions. My sed is very rusty. Somebody can help?

cheers,
Henk.
