  Weird, XSane works fine for me on my Epson.

I have a special scanner for 120 negatives.
V600 photo. Its one of the few scanners that will do that
Cheap scanners work well with xsane but this isn't a cheap scanner.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
