Actaully it doesn't work in FC6 either if you have SELinux turned on.

This is a bug in iscan / epson drivers. If you look at your system logs 
you'll see an SELinux AVC denial whenever you try to use the epson 
driver. IIRC I fixed it by clearing the execstack bit on the driver

 execstack -c  /usr/lib/iscan/libesint54.so
