Thanks a million for your reply, Mike. The combination of changing
permissions on the /proc/bus/usb/.... file for the scanner according to
Jim Cornette and modifying epson.conf according to your instructions
made the scanner functional. I had modified the epson.conf file to
uncomment the last line (always worked before), but changing that line
to just "usb" was necessary. I had not come across any directions that
this is the thing to do. I wonder why this file doesn't get installed
with this change.
