The uscanner device has been deprecated in favor of the libusb API that is in
the base system in 8.x. (Even the /dev/ugen devices are now just links to
nodes in /dev/usb/.)

If you have the configuration right (both dll.conf and epkowa.conf), check the
device permissions. I've got the following in /etc/devfs.rules (not devfs.conf!);

    add path 'usb/*' mode 0660 group usb

(Note that USB devices are now in a separate subdirectory!) All users of UDB
devices must be in the usb group, in this case. If you don't have untrusted
users you could use 'mode 0666' without the group statement.

If the device permissions are OK, please post your epkowa.conf and dll.conf,
and the output of 'usbconfig list' when the scanner is attached

As an aside, have you tried the plain epson driver?
