Epson Perfection 1240U USB scanner device not found

[Joel Roth <joelz@pobox.com>]

Hi Debianologists,

This scanner is supposed to be fully supported by SANE.

When I plug it in, dmesg shows:

[460008.108261] usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 26 using ehci_hcd
[460008.202148] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=04b8, idProduct=010b
[460008.202155] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[460008.202159] usb 1-1.2: Product: Perfection1240
[460008.202163] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: EPSON
 
lsusb returns:

Bus 001 Device 026: ID 04b8:010b Seiko Epson Corp. Perfection 1240

But scanimage --list-devices only show my notebook camera.
The notebook is a Lenovo T410. My kernel is recent 3.2 stock kernel.

Any ideas what to try?

thanks,

Joel
