You mention above that the iscan you have is version 1.0.4.* but this is an old version. I have version 2.30.2-2 installed.
BTW, AVASYS has been taken over by Epson itself and the new driver (epkowa) is now comes from the Epson site.
Is this your problem?
I don't think that is the issue. The actual iscan program version that is installed is 2.30.3-9.1. The iscan bundle was downloaded off the Epson driver site this afternoon, and it is the latest, presumably, with version 1.0.4. The bundle contains all the bits, iscan is just the scanning GUI program and comes in the iscan bundle.
Could this be something that has to be changed in the BIOS to make it work?
No, there is nothing in the BIOS, at least not in mine, that has anthing to do with the scanner. Unless of course your Bios has some setting which controls USB connections.
But there is a setting in Start>Settings>System Settings>Removable Storage which may have an effect. I don't see anything in there regarding "scanner." Someone may mention that you should set something in Yast>Security and Users>User and Group Management but this would be a furphy as I don't have anything set here and my scanner works.
Get the latest driver from Epson and let's see what happens after this.

Ah, so it appears that there may be a newer version. I'll go looking now.

No, nothing using the word scanner but how are your removable storage configured to be recognised by the system: on plug-in, only when previously manually mounted, ...?

I installed the package, and it has a newer version number than the one that would be available from the regular repositories. Sorry, I should have made that clear in my post.

Not exactly sure what you are asking in this question, but the window for Removable Devices has a heading "Configure automatic handling of removable storage media." Below that it has an unchecked checkbox titled "Enable automatic mounting of removable media." Everything below that line is ghosted out. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

OK, I see from your reply to Patrick that the scanner is at least recognised by the system but not by Yast so the above may not be contributing to the problem. However, if you want USB devices (eg a memory stick) to be handled when you plug them in then tick that checkbox to enable mounting of removable devices and then tick whichever options you want to be activated. In my case, I have the second and third boxes ticked.
