[SOLVED] Epson flatbed scanner detected but not working

I have an Epson V330 scanner which used to work with iscan and iscan-data from AUR. Now the scanner is detected correctly by lsusb, sane-find-scanner, and scanimage -L, but if I run
     
     scanimage > image/pnm

I get

     sane_start: Invalid argument

xsane brings up the scanner but it gives the same error.

I think the problem may be related to the fact that there is no /dev/scanner0 or anything similar, which I think there should be. I've tried rebooting with the scanner switched on but no result.

Did you install iscan-plugin-v330 from the AUR?

Thanks so much - yes, that was it!   I had to reinstall my system last month and I forgot that I'd been caught out by that one previously. Now working.
