Weird, XSane works fine for me on my Epson.
With my Epson I found that the open-source drivers produced worse
images and they didn't have a way to turn on the slide-scanning
backlight. Epson offered their own closed-source Linux scanning
program that worked better with it.
On the other hand the open source drivers and Xsane work great with
the scanner built into my Brother laser printer. Just like with
cheap printers and Linux, it comes down to luck.
