Sorry for not saying this earlier but I just caught up with the Subject 
of the thread.

I have an Epson scanner - but not the one mentioned - and you also most 
likely need the Epson driver for it. Using the xsane driver by itself is 
not enough as you probably already know.

Go to the Epson website and see if there is a driver for the scanner - 
and also find out if the (latest/correct) driver is installed on your 
friend's computer.
