Public bug reported:

Most of the Epson scanners nowadays are supported by the epson2 backend
:

http://www.sane-project.org/lists/sane-backends-cvs.html#S-EPSON2

But the needed udev rules and peson2 config file are not present to
enable OOTB experience like for HP products.

How to reproduce :

- install ubuntu 14.04
- Plug an epson scanner like the XP-405 ( 0x04b8 0x0898) 
- Launch Simple scan : the scanner is not recognized.

To fix this  :

 /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules shall contain :

ATTRS{idVendor}=="04b8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0898",
ENV{libsane_matched}="yes"

And

/etc/sane.d/epson2.conf

Shall contain :


usb 04b8 0898
usb /dev/usbscanner0
usb /dev/usb/scanner0

We should enable all those epson models to be plug n play by shipping
the needed config files like we do for HP.
