Scanner now works after taking the following steps:
Added user "tom" to scanner group.
Modified /etc/sane.d/epson.conf to add product and device IDs.
Attempted to scan as user "tom"; scanner not recognized by
Xscan.
Successful scan as root from the command line.
Reboot.
Successfull scan as user "tom".
Thanks much for your help.
Tom
