Replying to myself here :-)

I got the scanner working by adding:
'usb 0x04b8 0x0818' (without the quotes) to /etc/sane.d/epson.conf
I then had to change the permissions on /proc/bus/usb/001 and 
/proc/bus/usb/002 (including their files) to owner = root; group = scanner.
I then added all users to group 'scanner'.

I was not sure about how to restart everything so, being a bit tired, 
just did a reboot :-(

Blessings,

Nigel
