First, using yast software manager, smart, or even the command line with the command rpm -qa | grep scan and see if iscan-free is installed. I have an Epson CX6600 installed and it was detected with yast correctly, I believe that this is because I have iscan-free installed. It will allow you to use the Epkowa driver. You can read about it at the following location http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_spc.html they even have a proprietary driver that you can download. Just by installing iscan-free you will have the necessary entries to id the scanner to the usb subsystem.
