Description of problem:
start xsane, and error message pops up claiming that no scanner
can be found.

/etc/sane.d/epson must be modified from this default:
[The last two lines are Identical*. Why?]

# epson.conf
#
# here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend
#
# SCSI scanner:
scsi EPSON
#
# Parallel port scanner:
#pio 0x278
#pio 0x378
#pio 0x3BC
#
# USB scanner - only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner. It could
#               otherwise block your non-EPSON scanner from being 
#               recognized.
#		Depending on your distribution, you may need either the
#		first or the second entry.
#usb /dev/usb/scanner0
#usb /dev/usb/scanner0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start xsane or kscan
2. system complains that no scanner can be found.
3.
    

Actual Results:  unable to run scanner. Must be manually configured by changing
entries in /etc/sane.d/*.conf file.

Expected Results:  scan program should load and find scanner, since USBview and 
hardware device can *both* correctly detect and identify the 
attached flatbed scanner.

Additional info:

Have requested this in previous betas of RH distros.
Other distros alreay have this enabled in previous versions.
