Hi Vic,
My Cannon 3-in-1 just worked. I'm running F13 with :-
$ grep sane /var/log/rpmpkgs
libsane-hpaio-3.10.6-1.fc13.i686.rpm
sane-backends-1.0.21-2.fc13.i686.rpm
sane-backends-libs-1.0.21-2.fc13.i686.rpm
xsane-0.997-10.fc13.i686.rpm
xsane-common-0.997-10.fc13.i686.rpm
xsane-gimp-0.997-10.fc13.i686.rpm
and scanimage -L does work.
Check in /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
Epson have a Linux utility by Avasys called Image Scan, might be worth a
try.
