fc3t1 can't find usb scanner

[Gerry Tool <gstool earthlink net>]

The scanner situation seems to be worsening.  After following a thread 
when installing FC2, I finally got my Epson Perfection 1240U scanner 
working.

In fc3t1, the commands sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L executed 
either as user or root turn up no scanner.

Can anyone else confirm this?  Any hints on hot to get it to work?

Thanks.
