Ok up to there. The scanner has been found. That does not mean it can be
used. Only 'scanimage -L' will tell us if there is a backend driver for
this model.

sane reckons the epson2 backend will be up to doing the job.

This command has to give this output *consistently*. Running it 10 or 20
times on the run will enable you to make a judgement. Without a
consistent output xsane will not work reliably. In fact, no scanner
frontend will work reliably, including what you have from Epson.

If you get this again as a user please post the last few lines shown by
'journalctl'.
